Primes¶
- Clustering Illusion
- Genomics — motif-finding and association scans confront the illusion at scale, where thousands of candidate hits are spurious without multiple-testing correction. AI and ML interpretation — saliency-map artifacts and spurious feature-importance peaks are clustering-illusion-prone, with permutation tests as the corrective. Astronomy — false-pattern detection in noisy data, from canals of Mars to face-on-Mars features, met by computing the detector's false-alarm rate.
This sourceRecounts the Martian 'canals' episode (Schiaparelli, Lowell) as a false-pattern detection later explained as chance alignments of disconnected surface features at the limit of telescopic resolution.

Supplies the Martian canals episode as a historical pattern case, but not the chance-alignment explanation, the face on Mars, or false-alarm-rate computation.
“Through lively historical anecdotes, he describes in detail the debate over the so-called canals of Mars, which encouraged speculation that the planet might be inhabited.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
