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

The conclusion you jump to may be your own.
