> “when two extraordinarily improbably events occur together, there is probably a connection”

That's how people start believing in supernatural explanations and conspiracy theories, though. Improbable events happen all the time; just because each event is improbable doesn't mean the set of improbable events that can occur isn't large.

Weird shit happens all the time, and we should expect it as a matter of random chance.
