"A little consideration will show that...."

In summary, most of the top results on Google for the title phrase are related to applied mechanics, specifically machine design, despite the speaker not having a recent history of searching in those fields. This may be due to the popularity of the phrase among people working in those areas, particularly in India. The use of Victorian era expressions in academic contexts, which have been passed down from 19th century textbooks, may be a contributing factor. However, this trend is not commonly found in modern fields such as digital IC design.

Almost all of the first and second page results on Google for the title phrase are related to applied mechanics, e.g. machine design etc. And I don't particularly have any recent history of searching in those fields. So I am wondering if this expression has somehow become popular with people working in those areas?

A closer look at the URLs shows that a lot of them are from India. So maybe it has to do with some Indian academics often using Victorian era expressions of that sort, which have come down from venerable 19th century textbooks. And you won't obviously find that happening in modern domains like digital IC design.
