It's like the people who think they're displaying their above-average understanding of probability by choosing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 for their lottery numbers. It will be a very happy then a very sad day for a lot of people if those numbers ever hit!

A little anecdote about feeling smug and superior: During that facebook meme last week where everyone was posting numbers and replying with a comment about whichever friend sent them said number, a friend posted the sequence. I called it out for what it was, and he replies "I figured of all people it'd be you who would catch that".

I felt pretty good after that. Why I can't tell you but I did.
