It does lead to false conclusions. But finding patterns easily also saves lives when science is way beyond your reach. The guy that put the sound of a howl together with getting attacked by a pack of wolves quicker than the other guy was the one that survived. I mean if all the people who saw patterns with limited sample sizes died then there wouldn't be humans today that find patterns in limited sample sizes. All you have to do is go to a casino and you can see this isn't true.
