Don lists the distribution for positive TC's, and [he puts?] the negatives all together. However the distribution is symmetric, so the negatives have the same distribution as the positives.

Actually, this statement is not exactly true. For any given absolute value of count, the frequency of the negative TC will be somewhat higher than the frequency of the corresponding positive TC. This is a well-known fact, although the magnitude of the differences is not very important.
