I do some of this. Part of it might have to do with personality type. My husband being an ENTP has the ability to basically see the blue print and where ideas come from and what they will result in if followed to their end. He sees things like that super easily compared to me, and ENFP. I talk, and then see if I agree with what I just said. Sometimes because he reacts to it and then I adjust, cause sometimes I use a phrase I've learned but he sees the fallacy in it, that I need spelled out. Once I've heard what's behind it, I quickly adapt, but it's a lot harder for me to see through things on my own.

Some things are super common, but once I start thinking about them, what I've observed in reality doesn't align with it, similar to what I think you're talking about.

Like stereotypes of men and women. Maybe some are common, but they're not 100%. Like, my husband never needs help finding something right in front of him, whereas my brother did.
