Wow, great insight. It reminds me of the dynamics with walking down the sidewalk past a dog. If I walk too close to his yard, he decides I'm a threat. He barks! I walk away. It's easy for him to do post hoc ergo propter hoc and conclude that his barking chased away a dangerous threat. In reality I didn't do a thing different, but his lesson is that barking works!
