    Because it’s just picking a selection of numbers that humans commonly use, and those happen to be the most statistically common ones, for some reason.

    The reason is probably dumb, like people picking a common fraction (half or a third) and then fuzzing it a little to make it “more random”. Is the third place number close to but not quite 25 or 75?
