I wasn't thinking specifically of the speed of light, what other "significant" numbers are there and what "significant" physical artifacts correspond to them? I would expect the definition of "significant" is going to play a big part in it. In the back of my mind, some things I'm observing in how people explain what AI does make me feel like they're relying on normal distributions to carry a lot of water. If something is an "outlier / coincidence": is it? What distribution(s) does it belong to? Just a nagging feeling at this point.
