There's more than enough on the table so as not to cloud the issue with this kind of stuff
You're probably right about that. While I find myself skeptically inclined toward most varieties of exotic evidence, I do remember the case of Robert Blake, who was arrested for killing his wife, Bonnie Lee Bakley.
There are some reverse recordings of her phone calls posted on the net, and I heard as clear as day, "I think he's going to kill me."
Nevertheless, the linguist in me knows that there are a limited number of phonemes in any language and there may be an acoustic counterpart to pareidolia, seeing organic images in diffuse phenomena like clouds, at work here. I am sure that someone has done work in this area to determine the probability of words formed in reverse from utterances in natural speech.
I am just curious enough to want to look into this some more.
