Intent
A rare but attention-getting extreme situation may have the effect of tipping the attention of a scale-free space. For example, a sequence of news stories about shark attacks may gather public attention, despite the fact that the prevalence of these attacks may be down. A patient complaining of a headache may be given an MRI rather than two aspirin and bed rest, simply out of the fear of the pathological extreme.
