Name statistics argument 4: Artificial people?

from The Lydia McGrew Podcast Hosted by The Lydia McGrew Podcast

As my response to recent criticisms of Richard Bauckham's name statistics argument continues, I disagree with a move to add over 400 "artificial occurrences" to Tal Ilan's name database. I note how this move tends to flatten the database and blur the distinction between more popular and less popular names.
