Selection bias is a thing but I don't understand the core analogy of picking a road. Every single time I pick a road less traveled I end up driving alone with not a car in sight for hours. Until i get scared and retrace my path to where there are people. maybe if you want a road that is not congested you pick both the road and the destination less travelled. nobody wants to go there, ergo you get the road alone.
