I have also tested different scribes (1-3), and the result are almost identical (and within 95% interval) between each scribe.
The selection is pretty close to 2/3 and 1/3. This is of course impossible to say for sure, but it is one of the more interesting theories. And the number itself I think is an argument against this being a selection where the scribe just has a learned bias ("use x more ofen than y"), and if so, why does all the scribes land on almos exactly the same division. This points to a process behind it, I think.
One theory is that sometimes a dice, or something similar, was used to write. But then why only on some selected glyphs, some selected times?
