When you look at LOTS of items, some are usually far from the norm.
Say you have 1% chance of having very few 4As.
If you look at 4As, 4-2s, ...., 4-Ks, 4 to a spade flush, 4 to a
diamond flush, etc...
Overall you might have a 25% or 50% chance of having at least 1 fluke
result.
Sometimes researchers who use statistics don't understand this "meta-
result".
