No need for statistics as it is obvious.

1 degree of cant in the scope will result in 6" at 1000 yards. Should work out to 3" with a 0.5 degree cant.
1.5" with a 0.25 degree cant
0.75" with a .125 degree cant
.07" with a .0125 degree cant
One degree of cant on a rifle with a level reticle you only get 0.07" at 1000 yards.
If naturally you are 1 degree of cant you are most likely way more than 0.0125 degrees of cant when trying to hold level as even with a bubble level you are probably 0.5 degrees of cant. Doesn't take a statistician to see the math.
