I can't see 16 such highly detailed descriptions covering more than a small fraction of humanity.

Nu, with horoscopes each of 12 descriptions cover all of humanity!

Some parts more than others I expect. Each of the details is supposed to be considered separately and with an "are more likely to" attached rather than a strict conjugation.

The interesting question is how many compressed bits the 4 bits convey. I'm guessing about 3.
