That's comparable to a flipped coin landing heads 6-7 times in a row. Stranger things have happened.

It's actually approximately 10 times rarer than getting heads or tails 7 times in a row.

Getting not AA 1450 times in a row.. (220/221)^1450=0.00139345
Flipping heads 7 times in a row.. (0.5)^7=0.0078125
About 5.6x less likely..
