English term or phrase: Too fine an eye for
The human mind was made to create patterns. It will see patterns in random data. A tum of the century statistics book put it this way: "Too fine an eye for pattern will find it anywhere." In other words, you're going to see more on the chart than is truly there.

Explanation:
