Never did I say that. My theory is that they are drafted in triplets, one from each bag.
Since you could have more than one specialist available to hire from each bag (you get three hires and two are aggressive/offensive), the statistics are not as clean.
Ultimately though, if you've only hired offence specs, then you will most likely receive the other two categories. But you can predict the probability of each coming up, just based on numbers.
Don't think that's possible. Read the OP again maybe?

So I think they dont go back into the bag. From my empiric findings they remain out of rotation until a specific bag is emptied (but the game has not gone on long enough for me to verify.. I read in Nefario's FAQ that if a specific spec gets picked it will not pe picked as next but this has yet to confirmed. Doesn't fit with my current theory, so I am doubting it for now.
My idea came from the wiki, on the specialists page it says:
Here's the process from the devs:
Each specialist is classified as attack, defense, or other
We take 3 copies of all attack specialists and put them in a "deck" and "shuffle" it
We similarly create defense and other decks
Each round we draw one specialist from each deck and present it to the player
The player selected specialist depletes the pool of specialists in the deck for the next pick, making duplicates less likely.
Theory can be disconfirmed by emptying all but two or three of the same spec in a bag. Going to keep track for now, maybe lategame I get to spend some hires to create a shortage of variety in a bag. I suppose there are records of past games in your accounts, maybe someone wants to to through their longest one again to keep track, and see how it holds up?
