Jurassic Park. Of everything in this book only one thing really stuck with me. The park was overrun with dinos because the computer counted the ones it meeded to, then just stopped counting. It found its target of, say, 2 raptors. I didnt need to keep count of the others because it located its expected two. Good enough.
I’m on mobile so its a little hard to write out my thoughts and find accurate quotes and notes, but I think you’ll get what I’m saying.
That’s the earliest idea of a confirmational bias I can remeber when I was much younger, and I think helped me with critical thinking moving on.
Hope I don’t get flak for this one, but:
