Now how in the hell is female sterilization not 100%?
Even after tubal litigation it's possible to still get pregnant if the fallopian tubes grow back together or if another tube/path forms. It's somewhat rare (0.5% of women who have had the procedure could get pregnant again)
Yeah sure but that's not what sterilisation means. To be sterile means you're not making any gametes whatsoever, which typically means a complete removal of the gonads (ie an oophrectomy or orchidectomy). Otherwise you're not sterile, you're just infertile.
