Hundreds of millions of iPhones in use, and both of the examples cited in the blog post are people who know each other or are related. That seems... odd.

That was my take - with ~17B messages a day[1], you'd think this would be happening fairly frequently if it's a global problem (rather than shared IDs, etc.)

If the bug causes it to go to a different contact, then it's always going to go to a contact.
