The irrationality paradox
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 27 (3):336-338 (2004)
| Abstract | In the study of judgmental errors, surprisingly little thought is spent on what constitutes good and bad judgment. I call this simultaneous focus on errors and lack of analysis of what constitutes an error, the irrationality paradox. I illustrate the paradox by a dozen apparent fallacies; each can be logically deduced from the environmental structure and an unbiased mind. | |||||||||
