The book Blink by Malcolm Gladwell had an interesting story.
An ancient artifact was discovered and it was analyzed by experts. They found no signs of it being artificial and the carbon dating and other tests showed that it was from the time period.
One expert had a weird feeling about the artifact, he sensed something was off.
A while later, they found that this was a forgery.
Turns out the weathering pattern was a bit too uniform than what is seen on real artifacts.
So, his unconscious sensed something was off based on his experience dealing with many of these artifacts, but it was subconscious, so he couldn't explain why the artifact seemed a forgery!
That was fun to read. Also, really interesting because it's applicable to everything.
