While this is true to some extent, there are absolutely known "hackers" within the community that are particularly good at finding these sorts of interactions. The millions will shake out the rest though for sure.

Yeah, there obviously are some people who are outliers in this regard, but I don't think that's an argument that humans in general are good at this. There are people who can perform complex arithmetic in their head or even eat airplanes one piece at a time[1], but overall I'd still classify humans as "not great" at those tasks.
