This has been commonly known by magicians for decades. I doubt that any single magician had conducted 350k flips, but I know I personally did ~2,500 to test the effect when I was a kid.

And I'm sure if you got 30 magicians together to pool data we'd have a meta-analysis of about this size but with experiments a century ago

Especially on LinkedIn!

A single person would write 17000 posts about their "amazing journey" coin flip outcomes, and another 17001 "humbled by success" coin flip outcomes
