Oh! Look, a well-researched, deeply-explained, and interactive post.
Honestly, when I initially read the domain name and noticed the TLD is ".ski" I was thinking it is from the author who wrote about Mecanical Watch [1] and other cool stuff.. it turned out to be a totally different one but of similar quality. What's the secret sauce behind this ".ski" TLD :)
There is very simple reason for this: "ski" it the most common suffix of Polish surnames, of which the most popular is Kowalski. There are a lot of people out there either Polish or with Polish origins.
Author of https://ciechanow.ski – the site we all love here – is Polish programmer working for Apple.
On the same note there are some names that no matter the domain you know you're going to get a wizard, anyone named Thiago is a beast and I've chanced on several.
