I am
simply making the argument that due to the vanity call sign program, a
lot,
if not most, of the 1X2 and 1X3 calls are vanity calls.

I disagree. Most of the 1x2 and 1x3 calls seem to be "original issue" not
vanity calls. I know only a handful of people that have gotten vanity calls
and they have had a tough time finding a call that they liked as there just
aren't (and haven't been) that many of the calls available.
