@divby0 Why bring up a made-up word if there is one (Vorführeffekt) that's well understood and very common in German?

One could add that because the formation of the Word Vorführeffekt is analoguous to scientifically proven physical effects like e.g. the "Hall effect" it gives the impression that it is a fundamental law of nature, so it's bound to happen.
