I don’t know stats, but I just had some fun at random.org asking for sets of 1600 integers from 1-5 (link: [RANDOM.ORG - Integer Generator](RANDOM.ORG - Integer Generator))

Here were my results:

1st Run:
1: 326
2: 311
3: 336
4: 305
5: 322

2nd Run:
1: 315
2: 338
3: 309
4: 314
5: 324

3rd Run:
1: 294
2: 323
3: 322
4: 328
5: 333

4th Run:
1: 329
2: 321
3: 360
4: 291
5: 299

The first three runs were fairly even, but the fourth was even more lopsided than the Blue Book analysis, and it was generated by completely random atmospheric noise!
