Not scientific evidence by any stretch (likely cherry picked for good TV). But I've seen this among participants in experiments I've run (& faculty meetings, too).
It's not the phenomenon, but the dexterity with which people do it. That's the intriguing part.

Seriously, CNN? Do you need to show us Donald’s plane taking off?
The media should have learned its lesson after its failed coverage of the 2016 election when empty podiums and planes idling on the tarmac were deemed newsworthy.
Yet, here we are again and the media is making the same mistakes all over.
Donald Trump will be arraigned tomorrow in a New York City courtroom to face 34 charges—that’s what matters. How he gets to the courtroom isn’t news.
The media’s insistence on covering every aspect of this man’s life to the exclusion of all else is one of the reasons this country is in such dire straits.
Enough.
USA’s Antonee Robinson consoles Iran’s Ramin Rezaian after America’s victory. Iran’s regime has tried hard to brainwash its people against the US, but most Americans who’ve been to Iran will tell you it’s among the friendliest places they’ve ever visited.
So let’s go down this garbage ‘To Do’ list that the @GOP “vowed to do if they retook the House.”
