Quote of the Day -- Carol Tavris
The scientific method is designed to help investigators overcome the
most entrenched human cognitive habit: the confirmation bias, the
tendency to notice and remember evidence that confirms our beliefs or
decisions, and to ignore, dismiss, or forget evidence that is
discrepant. That's why we are all inclined to stick to a hypothesis we
believe in. Science is one way of forcing us, kicking and screaming if
necessary, to modify our views.
