This is interesting, but I have to quibble with this:

> If you express this value in any other units, the magic immediately disappears. So, this is no coincidence

Ordinarily, this would be extremely indicative of a coincidence. If you’re looking for a heuristic for non-coincidences, “sticks around when you change units” is the one you want. This is just an unusual case where that heuristic fails.
