This needs to be a well-defined psychological principle. I do stuff like this all the time (programming.dev)

I once had a program fail to compile, but when I compiled it a second time it worked. No idea why, best guess is some kind of caching or dependency issue that got resolved by restating the compiler.

Now every time a program fails to compile and it's not immediately obvious what the problem is, I instinctively compile it again just in case. Well more like three or four times.

I might just be a dog though.
