This is totally testable. I'm going to download some raw quantum noise. If the first byte isn't FF I will say the magic word. I will then report back what the first byte was.
Update: the first byte was 1B
...
Abracadabra.
Still here.
Initially this was anthropic evidence for normality, until people would have had time to replicate the experiment. Suppose the word was that dangerous, and the first byte had been FF. By now, all the people replicating the experiment have destroyed those universes. Only the universes where the experiment failed to show FF on the first try are still around.
Which means we have to cut down on the worlds where FF didn't happen. Say it with me everyone.
Abracadabra, Abracadabra, Abracadabra, Abracadabra, Abracadabra, Abracadabra...
If everyone who reads this comments says the word say, thirty times, we should be good, right?
