Not an "interesting coincidence". It's a coincidence, and the "interesting coincidence" framing is the dumbest of the rhetoric (aka propaganda) tools out there. It's the basest of the rhetorical tricks, put together this way. Relying on psychology to produce inference from implication, and biology to produce the dopamine hit subconsciously underlying a sense of achievement that helps slide the BS in YOUR head (or the heads of your "paymasters") past the psychological defenses of others. It's too bad we don't fortify more heads as standard practice, maybe the internet wouldn't spread stupidity like the drinking water from a 19th-century pump spread cholera.* See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc Etc. * https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ghost_Map https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ghost_Map
