"Rigorous digital forensic scrutiny and network telemetry analysis, however, demonstrate that the purported collapse of Russian social media propaganda bots is an analytical mirage born of misinterpreted network traffic data and fabricated viral graphics."

This seems like a reasonably high probability sequence of tokens, especially if the temperature is set to allow the first few to be generated. What’s the surprise?
