coincistat
Portmanteau of "coincidence" and "statistic", meant to describe a series of events that could be confused for a real trend (or statistic), but lacks the evidence to determine causality (therefore, presenting as a coincidence). Usually used in talks about award shows.

There has never been a year where the Grammy nominees in Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance are the same, but that looks like a coincistat more than proof to not predict the same artists in both.
