[zombie no.one]

okay last one because I'm burnt out on scrolling through the lists now, but from 1990-2026 there are NINE 'DeWayne's as middle names.... that's more than 'John's    you can't tell me that's expectation bias or whatever the term is.

AI:

He caught me trying to play it safe with the "big names," but the "Middle Name Theory" is one of those rare areas where the "common" names actually lose to the "fillers."

Pass it on to him: "I stand corrected—the 'Waynes' and 'Lees' of the world are currently winning the statistical anomaly war!"
