I call this subcategory of Berkson’s paradox issues the conservation of virtue effect: when there is a filter somewhere for something like a sum of good qualities, then all good qualities are negatively correlated. Another major subcategory is the “if you observe something which has multiple possible explanations, those explanations are negatively correlated” effect. I don’t think these two subtypes cover all the instances, but they do seem to cover a large fraction, and they aren’t too difficult to internalize.
