Let's say there are 1000 animals in the world
- 12 perfect-zodiac animals
- 988 not-zodiac animals
It's undisputable that we have Dragon, Chicken, Monkey, Pig, Tiger and Rabbit
Anyone trying to argue against them is taking the piss and not worth a second of our time.
That means the odds of 6 hits and 2 misses are:
8C6 x (12/1000)^6 x (988/1000)^2 = 0.00000000008%
Therefore it's almost undeniable even if you concede 2 misses.

Not a big stretch.
Then again, it doesn't even matter what you think about about Rat and Dog, since the odds are still 99.99999999992% even if they had been perfect misses.
