Baader–Meinhof phenomenon :)

I keep seeing references to the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon all over the place lately...

This could be coincidence, synchronicity or déjà vu, unless it's merely hilarious. Because if seeing the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon everywhere is in fact the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, then it becomes recursive. I'm guessing it is hilarious.

I'm losing track of all the references to scientist named phenomena: Baader-Meinhof, Dunning-Kruger, Gell-Mann Amnesia, etc.

It seems the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon wasn't named by or after scientists, if that's what you meant.

There's gotta be a scientist-named phenomena for that.

What is it called when somebody asks you to describe in single words only the good things that come to mind about your mother, and you shoot them?

The Voight-Kampff effect.

The Plate of Shrimp Effect.
