I think it's pretty astounding that nobody at Less Wrong was born in May. I'm not sure why Scott doesn't think that's a deviation from randomness.

May is in the data, a copy-paste error is much less astounding than nobody being born in May.

119 respondents, nothing surprising here.

You might consider the hypothesis that FrameBenignly appreciates this and was making a joke. This seems much more likely to me than that s/he actually thinks no one said they were born in May.

(Of course, maybe I'm missing a meta-joke where you pretend to take FrameBenignly at face value just as s/he pretended to take the alleged survey data at face value. But then maybe you're now missing a meta-meta-joke where I pretend to take you at face value...)

I'd make a triple-meta joke, but there's a two-meta limit on all month of birth jokes.

Oh no! I forgot to leave my evidence.

I see what you did there.
