I will talk about two combinatorial miracles relating poset-theoretic objects with Coxeter-theoretic objects. The first miracle is that there are the same number of linear extensions of the root poset as reduced words of the longest element (occasionally), while the second is that there are the same number of order ideals in the root poset as certain generality at which we should expect such statements to be true.
