    Two more variables that are going to affect the number of encounters are when the “final” orbits of the inner planets were established (the Nice model suggests there was much disruption early on) and that Mars’ orbit is very elliptic so it’s rarely lining up at its closest approach, which is still pretty far. If anything we’d more likely see some correlation between Earth and Venus if there is any.
