Good, but apparently you haven't thought through the implications, namely that there is a finite probability that things will clump together. Since you're familiar with statistics then you'll know that the governing distribution here is poisson and if you split the events into time related blocks, then you'll know that there is a real probability that some time blocks will have more events than others.
