Is it really?

I mean, yeah, doublets and triplets appear to be more common in the VM than in 
natural languages, but do their frequencies really exceed the mere statistics? 
Especially when we take into account that some words are more frequent than 
others?

I'm just asking, I haven't seen the numbers.
