I think it’s not exactly that there were 5 objects that you could’ve hit, but when trying to replicate you focused on one. I think it’s that you’ve probably performed a similar action a whole lot of times, and the times nothing interesting happened you didn’t go “How uninteresting! Let me replicate!” So even though interesting thing might only happen 1 time in 50 that will be the time you notice.

Good point.
