| Nov 3, 2023 at 20:58 | comment | added | Achim Krause | I realize it is meant hyperbolically, but I chuckled a bit at the number you chose. Surely if all people currently living on earth apply with two different cover letters, it's going to make a difference for one of us ;) | |

| Nov 3, 2023 at 14:53 | comment | added | Christian Remling | I think one can safely estimate the probability that this (mentioning names of references or not in the cover letter) will make a difference is $<10^{-10}$. What is slightly more important is that the letter feels professional and not put together in a great hurry. | |
