ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Clustering illusion

Clustering illusion is when you look at a group of things and they look like they are grouped together even though they are not. It's like if you have a bunch of dots on a page and it looks like there are a few groups, even though the dots are really just randomly placed. It's kind of like a trick that our mind plays on us and it can be very confusing.
