There is no evidentiary silver bullet for the frequency adaptation hypothesis
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 25 (4):508-509 (2002)
Abstract
Special design criteria are largely unable to discriminate between claims that specific competencies in judgements under uncertainty are a result of an adaptation for representing naturally sampled frequencies, or due only to inherent properties of such a format. Because divisions between these perspectives are thin, evidence via additional criteria are persuasive only in combination, using inference to the best available explanation.Links
