It's amazing how good humans are at detecting these sorts of patterns. For another example, in minecraft, people noticed you can find diamonds if you dig straight down from clay patches. At first I dismissed it as superstition but it turns out that are technical reasons for why! You can watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Icj5TNmBUI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Icj5TNmBUI for details but the tldr is that due to how minecraft seeds their linear congruential random number generator, whenever there aren't carries/overflows the coordinates are always a fixed offset away.
