From reading through this, it seems to me that 12 is a significant number... not 34.
Thank you mkdltn, for the post about the press. (Are those letters for Mark Dalton?)
And I was aware of apophenia, but had not encountered the word for it. Thanks for posting that. Is there a word for when someone sees a pattern or connection that others don't, while seeing randomness and perceiving others suffer from apophenia? What would that be? I think Ted's line of thought seems more likely.
And I don't think it was suggested up there that a sheet of 48 was printed so that 20 could be gleaned from it and the rest discarded.
