The Rabin Assassination: The Shabak Connection
All the versions of the conspiracy theory have Shabak, the Israel security agency involved. So our next set of experiments put together the key word sets involved in our first set of experiments with the key word Shabak as additional key word.
We repeated the first compound experiment with the addition of the key word Shabak. The results were not statistically significant. We repeated the second compound experiment, having 12 subexperiments each with the addition of the key word Shabak. The results were statistically significant and the most compact table unexpectedly came out to be the same one as in the original experiment. With the expected number of ELSs set to 20, the probability that a text from the ELS random placement text population would have as compact a table as that produced by the Torah text is 14/10,000. Combining results in our standard way to obtain a score on a trial by trial basis, the probability that a text from the ELS random text population would produce as good a combined result as the Torah text is 154.5/10,000
We repeated the second compound experiment having 10 subexperiments. But none produced a statistially significant result.
We repeated the third compound experiment having 15 subexperiments each with the addition of the key word Shabak. The results were statistically significant and the most compact table unexpectedly came out to be the same one as in the original experiment. Not only was there one ELS of Shabak. There were two ELSs of Shabak. And one of the two ELSs is prefixed by the Hebrew letter ה, the prefix for the definite article, the. With the expected number of ELSs set to 100, the probability that a text from the ELS random placement text population would have as compact a table as that produced by the Torah text is 5.5/10,000. Using our standard methodology to combine results in a trial by trial basis, the probability that a text from the ELS random placement text population would have as good a result as that produced by the Torah text is 58.5/20,000.
We repeated the last compound experiment having 15 subexperiments each with the addition of the key word Shabak. The results were statistically significant and the most compact table again came out to be the same one as in the original experiment. In this table there are two ELSs of Shabak, one with the definite article. With expected number of ELSs set to 50, the probability that a text from the ELS random placement text population would have as compact a table as that produced by the Torah text is 15.5/10,000. Using our standard methodology to combine results in a trial by trial basis, the probability that a text from the ELS random placement text population would have as good a result as that produced by the Torah text is 221.5/10,000.
