I passed no comment on this specific occurrence. I addressed your assertion that "these things DON'T just happen"; ie that there is absolutely no chance that it was a coincidence. You may be right, you may be wrong. I admire your confidence that you're right.
Coincidences just don't happen? What, ever? I'd be intrigued to read your explanation for why the moon is currently precisely the right size and distance from the earth to exactly cover the disc of the sun during a total eclipse then.
