Um... you know its already well established that the astrophysics of the Elite Dangerous galaxy makes no sense, right? I mean, just look at the stars, their shapes, their rotation rates, the lack of anything approximating well known, and in some cases very basic, astrophysical phenomena - e.g. no elliptical orbits (stunning in its absence!), stupidly close binary stars, no proto-planetary disks, no stellar winds, stellar flares and ejection events, no accretion disks, no pulsars, no Roche lobe gravitational overflow. Hell, even the black holes - the simplest objects in the universe, don't lens foreground photons, only background ones.
I wouldn't rely on any apparent weirdness or pattern in the orbital or astrophysical properties of the Merope plants as indicative of anything important or 'very careful calculation' from FD....
