Apophenia: aka "It's Rigged!"

DeviouslyCursed: Apophenia is the tendency to perceive meaningful connections
between unrelated things. Simply put, humans are primed to see
patterns and causation when there are none. It is safer and more
beneficial to your survival if you perceive all the threats,
including many that aren't actually there, than if you ignore one
that was real and it ends you. Of course, this causes problems when
you are trying to determine what is actually real. It's why data is
far more important than "just knowing." If WoT MM or RNG is as
rigged as the "It's Rigged!" crowd says it is, it should be fairly
easy to collect enough data to show it. If it is so subtly rigged
that it would take 1000s of battles to prove it, then I hate to
tell you, but your mind isn't going to notice it. This is why
no amount of personal testimony is going to "prove" any rigging.
You are going to need data. Otherwise all you are doing is
confirming Apophenia (and other cognitive biases, psychological
errors, and logical fallacies), over and over again.
