We’re pattern-seeking animals; we can’t help it. The ability to gauge probability based on repeated examples helped us to identify food and avoid predators back in the caveman days, and that hardwiring is still in effect, thousands of years later, expressing itself in countless ways – be it fair or not. When you see a lifted Ford F-250 Super Duty with a tribal tattoo decal on the tailgate, you can’t help but think “I bet that guy switches lanes without looking,” and when you see an ostentatious luxury car, a little voice in the back of your head is probably saying “double parker.”
