That's a pretty thorough chunk of investigative research by Spock. It gives a flavor to the ongoing odd ratio of royals that accompanies Rob wherever he travels. He's like a vagabond X-Files character.
The only thing one could possibly say in Rob's defense is that most forum posting is conversational in nature, and if one directly quoted a person's verbal conversations at will, a fair number of variations and incarnations of the same event(s) would be evident for most people. There may be a generational aspect to this, as older folks may treat online "conversations" as indeed conversational and not for potential inclusion in an index or reference table that can be reviewed in perpetuity.
I've always suggested that Rob's hit ratio makes him the equivalent of Marvel's The Scarlet Witch -- able to bend the laws of probability near him.
The most important element to Spock's review is the emphasis on the word "ratio." Rob has never used or addressed this term, to my knowledge. And this cuts to the chase of Rob's acclaimed history -- how does he manage to have the ratio of royals or big premium hands that he does? Ratios can be mathematically determined for various strategies, yet Rob's ratios seem to be otherworldly.
