From the paper "How is it that a seemingly meaningless scale can pass standard validity tests?"

I think it's not a spurious finding. I’m a bit skeptical about calling it a “seemingly meaningless scale”. People are sense-making machines, even odd items get meaning. As they show, the scale reflects relationship satisfaction. The Saturn item is actually measuring something.
