I did a research paper on Baader Meinhof long before the phenomenon came to my attention. It was two years after that paper before I came across any other mentions of them. The very next time anybody mentioned them to me it was in the frequency context and I'd had exactly the opposite experience of the "phenomenon." No frequency illusion at all. I have no idea why we'd name a phenomenon after a thing that made some guy have a certain feeling this one time. It's a moronic name.
