English term
Too fine an eye for
English to Portuguese
Bus/Financial
Business/Commerce (general)
The human mind was made to create patterns. It will see patterns in random data. A tum of the century statistics book put it this way: "Too fine an eye for pattern will find it anywhere." In other words, you're going to see more on the chart than is truly there.

Um olhar detalhado/minuscioso demais para
O uso de "too" antes de adjetivos acaba dando um sentido negativo, significando "mais do que o necessário". O que vem corroborado na frase seguinte do contexto apresentado. Assim, penso que temos de manter essa ideia.
