As you point out, the IPCC does not explicitly state that the SRES scenarios all are of equal likelihood, but, given what they do tell us (as you indicated) 1) we should not rely on the frequency distribution to develop probability of occurrence, and 2) «No judgment is offered in this report as to the preference for any of the scenarios and they are not assigned probabilities of occurrence,» it seem to me that the best we can do is to make the simple assumption that they are equally likely (with departures from equal probability randomly distributed).

The simplest things one can do microscopically are things like detailed balance estimates, and so far I haven't made Joe happy even with what I've attempted there, although I think he realizes that my answer is irrelevantly imprecise (or he should realize it once he follows the reasoning in the algebra above that lays out how air can be isothermal and still have the MB velocity distribution from the bottom out to where the assumptions of thermodynamics break down anyway, because to many, many digits when meters is the mean free path of the gas and meters.

Statistics is pretty much based on the random selection from a population and the tests of statistical significance generally tend to be based on the assumption that the population is normally distributed (gaussian if your into hiding simple ideas behind the names of dead mathematicians).
