People don't want to believe stuff like this but its incredibly well studied and true.

But people really want to believe that they can stare at a billion things at once like they're watching the code of the matrix and then Big Brain shit.

The specific number 7 hasn’t actually been well studied or reinforced; rather, it’s the chunking aspect of Miller’s work that was salient.

This paper talks about how people just accepted the number seven as a given for forty years after Miller published and didn’t explore it further. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4486516/
