I have no idea what the right config is.

What I mean by "it's not true" is that I think that it is impossible in any
practical sense.  It's like you said that you flipped a coin and that it came up
heads 35 times in a row.  It is possible that this could happen, but it's more
likely that something else is going on.  Even if the coin is modified to come up
heads 75% of the time, it's still extremely unlikely that it would come up heads
35 times in a row.

An extremely likely conclusion is that there is something wrong with your test.
