[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's familiarity bias. Or in other words, thinking that your world is the whole world. In actuality, we are not as unique as we think we are and there are many, many more people exactly like us (or our friends) than we realize. There are 5.4 million people in the DMV. A fraction of them are on this site. Statistically, the odds of you accurately recognizing THREE people are almost impossible. When I post here, I change details to anonymize myself. So anyone who thinks recognize me is actually just projecting someone they know onto the persona I made up.[/quote] It’s not necessarily just familiarity bias or “impossible” The 2 times I’ve recognized people on here, I was close enough with them to ask them. And they confirmed it was their post.[/quote]
