"People use heuristics: The mind as a machine for jumping to conclusions: one way is 'substitution': You're asked a question, unable to answer, so substitute an answer to a related question." That describes politicians on Meet The Press and elsewhere.

The only non-economist to win a Nobel Prize in Economics..... didn't intend to influence economics at all, but publishing a useful article on decision-making in Econometrics cuz it was prestigious and it not appearing elsewhere drew Nobel attention to it." ChaCha! "Research is a conversation. No one dominates it. A criterion of which is that it be interesting." "The psychology of single questions." "Collaboration shortens the time in which the clarity of your idea(s) [occur] to you."
