Too late.
The cognitive bias you're referring to is often called "representativeness bias" or "representativeness heuristic." This bias occurs when people judge the probability of an event based on how similar it is to a prototype or stereotype they have in mind, rather than on actual statistical reasoning or relevant information.
Another related term is "availability heuristic," which refers to the tendency to rely on immediate examples that come to mind when evaluating a specific topic, concept, method, or decision.
