New York Times Magazine 8Kahneman 9

 

When a compelling impression of a particular event clashes with general knowledge, the impression commonly prevails. And this goes for you, too. The confidence you will experience in your future judgments will not be diminished by what you just read, even if you believe every word.
-- Daniel Kahneman, Don't Blink! The Hazards of Confidence. New York Times Magazine (Oct. 19, 2011).
