This is a common problem with statistics. Ask someone to answer "if Saturday has 25% of rain and Sunday another 25% what is the probability of rain during the weekend?" The intuitive, but wrong, answer is to add probabilities capping them at 100%. So, this mental model seems quite natural for humans.
