I did have a fun conversation about employment law once where the thought process was something like "of course I'll follow the law, I'm sure it matches my placeholder assumptions about it perfectly"

I have had conversations like that about visa law, in which the placeholder assumption seemed to be "I am not a bad person and the Home Office will know that and everything will be easy". This did not coincide with my own placeholder assumptions.

It feels a bit like a cousin of object permanence, maybe: things don't exist till I've seen them
