Have you noticed that most of the time, debris fallen on a busy freeway is nicely positioned away from the middle of lanes and more or less on the dividing line/buttons? (This is true unless it’s a big object or if it has fallen off very recently.)
This is convenient, because, traffic doesn’t have to swerve to avoid them. But from a pure probability stand-point, it’s impossible that a majority of objects that fall off vehicles going at high speeds land at such a convenient place. Perhaps there is an intelligent entity, a benevolent force, guiding this?
If you didn’t get my drift, this sounds like the ‘intelligent design’ argument.
I think that the reason for this phenomenon is simply this: the object initially will land most likely in the middle of a lane. Then a vehicle will hit it and it will be moved. Then another vehicle will hit it, and it’ll be moved again. And so on. This will continue randomly until the object accidentally comes to rest at a harmless location, which looks miraculously convenient.
We could say the object’s position evolved to perfection!
