Quick thought: Human in the loop during data generation masks correlation

What happens if there is a human in the loop of a data generation process? This blog post is an illustration of a thought we had during a collaboration with BASF. It is obvious in hindsight but puzzled us for a while when we analyzed process data. Imagine you have some kind of data generation process involving independent variables x1 and x2, and a dependent variable y = f(x1, x2) = x1 + x2....
