We don't know for sure but I tend to agree about
the relative 'smallness' of the differences between
HA and HB. Still the caveat about unique words
(appearing only once in some context) is valid.
They arise naturally.

Also, regarding the statistic I used, the diffent
sections are all contiguous or overlapping. There
are no 'discrete' characteristics.

This is a suggestion for which I have not seen
any supporting evidence, to be very frank. Indeed,
8AM seems to occur everywhere.
