Fortunately, Wonders tend to make many “vulgar” acts seem rather coincidental. Especially among mass-media cultures, folks are more willing to accept weird stuff if there’s a machine or similar object involved. For obvious reasons, this gives the coin­ cidental edge to Wonders that involve some form of acceptable technology… which, in the twenty-first century, can get pretty advanced before people start questioning its viability! Even so, certain Wonders have strong footholds in the public imagination – a cross, for example, brandished in the hands of a priest, or a fistful of colorful dust in the hands of a wild stranger – and may be considered “coincidental” under the right circumstances.
