I found this to be an interesting read since this topic comes up occasionally.

Thanks. Saving that link. Easier than dispelling the nonsense myself.

I meant to post in here when I originally read the thread, but forgot. Thank you for dispelling this irritating myth.

Does this mean we can now call people on here who post about Fibonacci "obsessive pattern seekers?"

Folks addicted to mystical mathematics are really motivated by a belief that there's something "magical" about certain combinations of numbers. They are obsessive pattern seekers. Pattern recognition can be a useful trait, if not carried to the point of believing that every perceived pattern represents something profound or mystical.
