Is anyone familiar with an article in Statistical Science (Aug 94) or in 
Bible Review (Oct 95) or The Journal of the Royal Statistical Society 
152:1, 1988)?  I have received claims that amazing statistical sequences 
in the Hebrew proves (even supernaturally so) the accuracy of the Masoretic 
text and/or certain translations.  This seems mystical to me, but I have
not seen the arguments.  Has anyone evaluated such claims?
