Irreversibility has to do with order, and so, with probabilities. Entropy is defined in terms of probabilities, and that's why we have crank postings about entropy by socratus, who is probably some kind of determinist. But only probably.
So what is the probability of having a particular order of a shuffled set of cards? Is not entropy a reflection of the number of ways a system can be shuffled rather than what is the probability of any order of that system?
Do you disagree with Lambert (my attachment) pages six and seven?
