Lack of data is an issue. And it's largely the fact that I have Obama's 21 gun 3+1@3sec salute arriving at Arlington that I feel the claim is emboldened. These things have reasons. In the military it's x or it's y because of z, but very rarely is anything ever, you know, x or y, whatever you feel.
Not only is Biden is the only 2+1@9sec, not only does it align with the foreign dignitary, but it's literally the sole odd man out of literally every living POTUS salute on video record I can find. Granted most of those are inaugural, but it's not a low number.
The only thing giving me pause is the 2+1 of Regan's funeral. That also feels out of place, but it's not as if I have any other example of it, such as a 2+1@5sec for the death of some foreign queen or something to better align it with something other than what it otherwise would seem to be.
Lacking evidence of POTUS' receiving 2+1@9seconds is not evidence that no such occurrences exist, but the data does fit the hypothesis and despite now two days of work looking I can't for the life of me falsify it. So while I will not present it as fact (outside normal optimism/hyperbole) like all things in science I hang my hat on it until disproven or a better fitting alternative is proposed.
