    OT: I see, I hear, I believe!

    But do I reason?

    When making claims we are all at risk of using erronious beliefs in arriving at them. A little knowledge of such pitfalls can lead to better conclusions and more credible posts on this Forum.

    FYI:

    A summary of a book on the subject: Graham King ? How we know what isn't so, by Thomas Gilovich

    And a professional review of that book: The experimental analysis of reasoning: A review of Gilovich's How We Know What Isn't So


    Opinion is only as valid as its verifiable supporting evidence.

    Or as my neighbor used to always tell me, "James, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!"

    Re 'James, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!'

    I totally agree, if one is unaware of his own limitations and the validity of what others espouse.

    The conclusion you jump to may be your own.
    Your neighbors called. They like your music.
