The process of selection entails the candidate selecting items IN THE PRESENCE of the monks who know which articles belong to the deceased. The candidate could be reasonably expected to read the body langauge of the monks. In Tibet,the likelihood of fraud cannot reasonably be dismissed.
What about coincidences? How do you explain them? There's nothing weird or mystical about coincidence. Reality is random. Imo what's weird is the human tendency to attempt to find meaning and purpose where there is none.
