It should be noted that for a set of 137 objects taken 4 at a time, there are approximately 10400 possible combinations. Thus, the 80 straight line combinations, while rather visually overwhelming in the fashion of Edward Tufte's "chartjunk", constitute approximately .008 (eight-tenths of one percent) of the possible combinations -- not precisely the sort of percentage to be encountered by chance alone, even on a dark night. A little math goes a long way.
