Hi Simon,

thanks for the paper, interesting findings!

Let me play the devil's advocate a bit here with your example: "For a
politician, for instance, the political party is generally much more
important than music instruments played."

Now let's compare the following two did-you-know facts:
- Did you know that Bill Clinton is a famous politician from the Democrat
Party.
- Did you know that Bill Clinton is a famous politician who is also a
saxophonist.

To me, the second is more interesting :)

But here, the interestingness is related to the degree of being unusual.
Any thoughts on this?

Regards,
Fariz
