I've had cross-talk happen while on a cellphone. It cut over to another voice saying "... three months!..."- it sounded like an ad. But it wasn't audible on the other end and the conversation wasn't interrupted.

Never did work out what happened there.



What are the odds of a random crosstalk saying 'liberty' ?


The question you should be asking is: What are the odds that some random vocal sound might be interpreted as "liberty" by a human brain that is primed by talking about that subject?

Odds seem pretty good to me.


By Richard Stallman’s brain likely increase the odds somewhat.


Where? In the US?


USA, maybe 5 years ago.
