> after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, some people who would've received a relatively small dose of radiation seemed to have a slightly lower cancer risk than people who wouldn't have received any additional radiation.

What if this is survivorship bias selecting for some common trait that correlates with better radiation tolerance and lower cancer risk (like age).
