For some reason, the fact that people thought "Float like a Butterfree, sting like a Beedrill" was a Cars reference is really, really depressing to me.

Humanity has a tendency to assume random things (like things in two works that happen to coincidentally be present in both works) as non-random, deliberate similarities (such as one of these things in one work being based off the thing in the other work - Shout-Out and Expy for example) - Apophenia it is called.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
I'm tinking about organizing the shoutouts a little more cleanly. Would it be better to organize them by the game they're from or the media they're referencing?
EDIT: They'd still be organized by games, anime, Adventures, misc; I'm asking about organizing them within their folders.
