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?
