Know Your Grifter Tactics - Cherry Picking (Fake) Evidence



This is why yesterday I mentioned that 444 was likely to mean something more spectacular than it does when it’s really no more significant than that 253 in the decode I found on Bluesky this morning.  Those repeated digits are a miniature psychological hook.  It’s 666 without 6’s.  So it’s time to reinforce how unspectacular 1111 and other repeated digits are if you want to think critically about the usage.

One of the first things I checked was if Eleventh Month actually does equal 1111.  Hooray!  It does!  At least it’s not a complete lie.  But the significance opens up a can of worms.  There are 12 months.  If this was so gosh darn important, if this really was secret coding, shouldn’t this logically apply to every month?

Of course it doesn’t.  The only other “hit” is Sixth Month = 66 in some reduction ciphers.  And that’s with a screenful of 31 different ciphers from the Gematrinator calculator.  That is several metric butt tons of misses for a win rate of at best arguably 16.67%.  Sure November is super cool and deserves to be elevated to most important month status, but it’s totally not fair to dis every other month than June for not being as magical.

And my screenshot is from Bluesky’s translate feature as the original post was in German.  German for ELEVENTH MONTH is ELFTER MONAT, which does not equal 1111 in any of the 31 ciphers.  Maybe English is the only language that gematria works in 16.67% months f the time.  Although I think some people that use Hebrew for gematria might have something to say about that.

This is cherry picking at an obvious level.  Making a fuss about that one hit while ignoring how lots of misses build up to the idea you are promoting.
