"We can unconsciously increase the odds of a “rare” event occurring by
post hoc analysis, open ended criteria (wiggle room), and mining large
sets of data. In fact, we are inherently good at doing all of these
things. We might call the overall process pattern recognition. Our
brains evolved to make connections, to see patterns, and then to imbue
them with meaning."
