Assuming the original research hypothesis

Let's go now to the original hypothesis of WRR. Here too, not only is there no reason to believe that the two P2 scores will be more proximal to each other than those of a random partition but again there are reasons to believe the contrary.

Since one list is of the more important Rabbis and the other is of the less important ones, we can expect that the knowledge of the historical data will be different and also that the hidden biblical code will treat them in a different way. Thus, The two populations of Rabbis in the original partition are quite distinct, but in a random partition, where in each part we blend Rabbis from the two original lists, we can expect the two parts will be closer together.
