Well, from what I read so far in the last years, this is not a
criteria at all. I think you are simply trapped in the human thinking
process, that you try to find a reason where no reason is. There is a
lot of luck involved and if sage doesn't fit on a very rough level, it
won't be selected.
It's like if you play a random game, and you think it "must happen
now" and if it still does not, you blame it on wearing the wrong
socks…
