No, they are not measurement error. The moment of inertia of the earth changes over time in irregular ways (e.g, melting glaciers, etc). Even a major earthquake can show up in the earth’s rotation. Leap seconds account for the accumulated d

OP's method relies on the permutation of elements in (columns or rows) to be in the same order for each (column or row). If you're just handed a pile of confetti you don't have that same correspondence.

No, "there is a worldwide conspiracy to suppress Ivermectin so that Big Pharma can make vaccines" is clearly a conspiracy theory, it's not a tautology. Seriously, why all the tinfoil?
