I don't think that anyone is trying to argue that the similarity between the power spectra is useful but that doesn't mean it isn't interesting. Also, the level of similarity between them is striking!

Because the it starts with human artifacts the similarity is more on the level of finding that two English language texts have similar letter frequencies and presenting it as an episode of Ancient Aliens. http://freakonometrics.hypotheses.org/19817 http://freakonometrics.hypotheses.org/19817
