Andres,
Why not to use #& and #| for and & or operations?
Your source code: ^self class new: value + (self negated and: aProbablity negated) value
Can be compiled successfully in other Smalltalk environments (like Smalltalk Express and Visual Smalltalk).
I think that Squeak parser must not try to optimize #and: if the argument is not a block node.
Ale.

Hi.
^self class new: value + (self negated and: aProbability negated) value
I assume that the class this method is in implements an "and:" message, which is what you are trying to use in the code above.
Yes.
If this is the case, then you will have to choose a different names for your operations than "and:" and "or:".
Oh, boy... probabilities look so ugly without them... anyway, I chose andWith:, orWith: and so. Do you know of any nicer selectors?
Andres.
