Humans have a soft spot for collecting data. We have had people counting "how many black spots do I see looking directly at the sun" daily since 1749.

    For a moment I thought you meant that there's a group of people looking at the sun and counting black spots that persist in their vision after doing so, then I realized how dumb that was and that you probably were talking about sun spots. That moment of confusion really got me going though.
