 facts: A meta-analysis of the anecdotal bias https:/ /doi.org/10.1016/j.obhdp.2020.01.006
  14. 14. We fi nd anecdotal evidence to be more persuasive than statistical evidence [only] when emotional engagement

  26. 26. Overcon fi dence is a powerful source of illusions, primarily determined by the quality and coherence of the story that you can construct, not by its validity. If people can construct a simple and coherent story, they will feel con fi dent regardless of how well grounded it is in reality. Daniel Kahneman Psychologist, Nobel laureate
