    This is a bit weird. I was just listening to Infinity 2 today (great book. Totally recommend), and there’s a section where the characters use Benford’s Law to prove reality. I then had to look it up myself.

    Just a super weird coincidence…unless Lemmy is listening to me…

      This is called the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon, or frequency illusion.
