I have a question about planet detection if anyone can answer me, or, point me where I can research the answer. Assume a star is a single star and has 2 planets. Both planets are the exact same size and mass. Both orbit at the exact same distance from the star at exact opposite points in rotation.

That’s why increasing sampling size without improving detection methods won’t help, will it?

If Kepler, in its current configuration, could look at a trillion trillion stars you would still expect to see the bias in the data. Not because of sample size, but, because of the resolution of the instruments. If you say that the sample it has now isn’t indicative of the “norm”, then you have to say it has found…
