Sounds like the normalization of deviance.

Kinda like how familiarity with using a table saw eventually costs people their fingers.



Table saws seem like a bell curve. Low familiarity leads to lost fingers(or being impaled by a kicked back board), mild familiarity saved fingers and know how to avoid kickback, too familiar back to lost fingers but you likely won’t impale yourself.


That's more of a U-curve. Tall in the ends, short in the middle.
