Our brains are wired for pattern recognition. It’s an evolutionary trait that helped our ancestors survive (rustling grass = possible lion). Our ancestors rarely came to harm through false positives (they thought it was a lion, and it wasn’t), whereas the price for failing to recognize a link was high. Better to err on the side of caution than become lunch.
