A conman comes to town and scares the people into building a wall!

The non-causal and physically non-structural relationship apparently strikes again. It doesn't seem to more narrowly qualify as synchronicity since that Trackdown episode has existed since 1958, rather than its genesis being concurrent or near-concurrent with Trump's Mexican wall declarations. Diachronic instead.

Abstractions from statistical data of how reliably often or of low probability some events occur / are doesn't in and of itself even concern the underlying background of explaining how each is specifically caused. Plus the "non-causal relationship" label via its very meaning doesn't concern denying that two or more items still have their separate, distinct from each other causes (they just don't have an effectuating connection with each other in a science context).

Confirmation-bias in a preset sense isn't applicable since people usually aren't deliberately looking beforehand for synchronic and diachronic incidents; they stumble upon them or the latter converge upon them.

Thus apophenia and "useless in terms of methodological preference for mechanistic causes" are reasons for ignoring such in practical / science research.

But in interpretative POVs lacking "this or that" operating precondition or preconception, interest in or use of "non-causal and physically non-structural relationships" may abound -- like in some aesthetic organizations, categorizations and taxonomic creations, as well free-ranging curiosity and mental recreation.
