Yes indeed!
If everything is fine no one writes about it (publication bias).
And if everything is great no need to be here in the first place (selection bias)
Add in a bit of confirmation bias and you have a pretty skewed version of reality.
It gets everyone (it's how humans perceive the world), even when you are conscious of the biases.

Confirmation bias is probably my problem as much as anything. While I'm a realist I've already got it in my head that it's all going to fall apart so everything I read props that up.
