"It is most likely as not"

[Carl the Engineer]

So, I gets my cfile finaly.  The LHI examiner checked the box, 

4b. The claimed condition is less likely than not (less than 50 percent probability) proximately due to or the result of Veteran’s service connected
condition.

But then in the rationale, she writes, 

It is most likely as not that BARRETT'S ESOPHAGUS is secondary to Left ventricular hypertrophy or hypertensive heart disease.

LOL, you can't make this stuff up.

So then the VA deferred it another third party for the another 4b., box checked.

It is most likely as not hiatal hernia is caused by Thoracolumbar DDD and DJD.

She did the same thing on number 2 denial.

LOL,

Sounds like another LHI examiner snafu.
