I think my personal favorite is the Kahneman quote about how you have NO CHOICE BUT TO ACCEPT.
- _yosefk 10y agoI also find this quote remarkable, and not in a good way; but I recall that Kahneman's studies do replicate pretty well. (This is not to say that all their claimed implications are true - this is the part where "no choice but to accept" rubs me the wrong way.)
- conistonwater 10y agoThe full no choice but to accept quote was specifically about priming studies, IIRC, and I guess what irked Gelman (a statistician) the most was that Kahneman got statistics wrong by overestimating the strength of evidence.
