The distribution of duplets is very skewed, so some duplets are very common 
while others are very rare (that is why it is said that the structure of 
words is so rigid, Stolfi's word structure and so on).
Once you know 1 character, you can guess the next one with more success than 
if they were all equally probable.
Cheers,

Gabriel
