I mean it could have been a simple coincidence. Our brains are trained to see patterns and find connections that are appealing, but the chances of those events being related vs. the raw data and happenstance of random occurrences appearing similar are not in fact, the same thing.

Its a fallacy, don't appeal to them please. The general public is already pre-disposed. Poor thangs!
