Unfortunately, there's a different problem with seeing more of that sort of thing. For most people, when we do something (like tossing salt over the shoulder, or picking up a penny), it's for "luck". When "they" (anybody who's not us and not remotely related to us) do it, it's silly superstition. So the more this sort of thing is seen, the more it becomes "Oh, how wacky they are, they have these big superstitions."
Ok, I admit it, I have no hope at all for the entire species.
