episode oddity

Yes, almost anything may be down to 'random'. However we may also need to
bear in mind the famous comment:

"To lose one parent is unfortunate. To lose two seems like carelessness."
:-)

In this case it isn't a problem I recall encountering before. Yet it has
now happened many times in the space of a few days. So the simplest answer
may be that something has actually changed. The question then being, what?

"Hiccups" is a natty label. However, as Feynman pointed out, giving
something a name doesn't mean you understand it. :-)
