That is very interesting. So if we go by this we should try to divide the below global loot of a certain mob or HP into classes, then check the hypothesis that the classes distribute poisson, and inside every class is distributed exponential. This sounds worthwhile to check for mining too, in this case the classes are quite obvious.
