I was intrigued myself so I checked Wikipedia: "The validity of Smeed's "Law" is a matter of debate: Smeed's Law is a classic example of a statistical fallacy caused by mathematical coupling wherein correlation is found between variables that share common factors. A series of random numbers for inputs would generate the same hyperbolic curve that Smeed's graphs show. The potential for this error was first described by Pearson in 1897 [4]and has been restated elsewhere.[5]"
