A string of repeating very unlikely "coincidences" is probably not coincidental. But people use "coincidence" to explain away everything, even when it's absolutely ridiculous to do so. And if you disagree they shoot lasers out of their eyes at you.

Sometimes a random dice will roll the same number 30 times in a row. Some coincidences do happen over and over. It goes both ways. Sometimes real things get dismissed and some times coincidences get called conspiracies.

If you suspect a conspiracy you need more than potential coincidences. But the coincidences should be enough to convince a reasonable person to investigate further. The stupid people are the ones who refuse to consider possibilities that they don't immediately agree with.

And that's exactly what they do. Even generally calm, nice, and open-minded people become very aggressive when you question existence or the uprightness of the world and nature, or notice certain things which could potentially expose it.
