Interesting. I've never heard of this bias. It doesn't "feel" like what's going on with Core/Knots. I think the bias when it comes to weather stations is probably due to people not understanding probability very well, and the weather stations taking action to "massage" the numbers in a way that better conforms to how their viewers interpret numbers.

Something about how attention affects action sounds more like the Streisand Effect, but that's not quite right either.
