npub147m8ln06x5przpjyq3jvxr7ydhhf9lq6zeqff6qq73qsyg6p4l6q6q7rue (npub147m…7rue) I'm vaguely remembering that Poisson stats describe radiation counts well, and the variance of a Poisson process is equal to its mean. That might explain it ... but I haven't thought about this for over a decade now. I think that I last taught physics in 2010. It's unfortunate how fluency slips so far without practice.

Yes, one could recover it but, the more years we gain, the less time we have!
