Is this in support of or in opposition to the thesis of the post? Or am I being presumptuous to suppose that it is either?

Opposition.

The opposition is that the number of observers able to ask questions about royal siblings is not heavily correlated with the actual number of royal siblings historically present; while the number of observers able to ask questions about a lack of large thermonuclear exchanges is heavily correlated with the actual number of historical large thermonuclear exchanges.
