Question about 2537 "Odds of a State Funeral on D5?  How many coincidences before mathematically impossible?  68–95–99.7 rule  Q" So I get what the rule is in statistics.  What I don't get is how it proves that the DS made it happen...or in other words, that it isn't coincidental. Yes, it serves to delay some things like D5. I get that.  I just don't get how someone can say that's it mathematically proven this is beyond mere coincidence. Full disclosure, I follow Q closely.  I have seen plenty of proofs.  So I don't ask this question to challenge the validity of Q.
