Maybe ignoring small changes should be in a generic list of cognitive biases, maybe it already is. I wonder to what extent measuring and logging things can help overcome this.
Also, there seems to be a moral difference between slow change and fast change. For example, evolution, as it happens over thousands of years is seen as a good thing, but if your children were totally different from you, it would be seen as a problem. Same is true for cultural changes too.
