I think I meant the same thing. If they occur predictably, that implies a "how often".

The problem I was trying to address was strictly addressing their reliance upon observation. There is no reliable data to support the supposed observation.

But I was addresing the empirical argument on their terms. Usually I would follow John's reasoning.
