The rarity of a phenomenon is a statistical feature of its token frequency, not evidence that no law-governed process generated it, preserving DN's explanatory scope even for unique events.

DN (Deductive-Nomological model)(as used in philosophy of science): A theory of explanation that says something is explained when you show it must happen based on general laws and specific facts—basically, proving 'this had to occur because of these rules and conditions.'
Explanatory scope(as used in epistemology and philosophy of science): How much ground an explanation covers—in other words, how many different situations or phenomena it can successfully account for or explain.
Phenomenon(The statement refers to attention and peripheral vision as phenomena we can study.): An observable fact or event that we can perceive or experience, as opposed to things we can't directly observe.
law-governed process(as used in philosophy of science): A sequence of events that follows consistent, predictable rules—like gravity always pulling objects down, or chemical reactions always producing the same results under the same conditions.
