[R] re cognizing patterns

DeaRs,

i'm looking for some references on a statement as follows:
"Humans are good at spotting trends and patterns in data, but they are also
good at spotting those patterns where none really exist". This is not
verbatim but there must be some scholarly work on this. I can't remember
where I came across it - perhaps I dreamed it up? Help, anyone?

Best wishes

Paul
