davv: (Seemingly) technical contradiction (Code)

And while speaking of logic...

... I pulled the conjunction fallacy magic trick on someone a week or so ago.

It did work, and was amusing :)

I read a story once about a character pulling the inductive bias (Wason's experiment) trick on another. I think I know what he felt, now.

But I've read the common perception of "probable" might make the conjunction fallacy not actually a fallacy. So I'll try not to feel too powerful about it!
