The human brain is wired to find patterns, even when they don't exist.  It is a well-known phenomena which has spawned multiple studies.  There's even a word for it.  It is called apophenia and it is the human tenancy to see meaningful patterns within random data.  So that we "see a pattern" is absolutely meaningless.  We are wired to see patterns, whether they exist or not.

Read the sentences immediately after that quote and you will find that I already anticipated this objection. Nice try, though.
