It's human tendency to glorify the past and undermine the present",
I vehemently disagree with the statement that HN is declining in quality.
concluding that HN is declining is like concluding that we live in a chaotic world, while globally violence is at an all time low [1] . Or undermining Dale Steyn in comparison to Malcolm Marshall or Dennis Lillee [2]. Cricket and Football fans would laugh at comparisons of Kohli with Tendulkar or Neymar with Ronaldinho while records speak otherwise [3] [4]. Aren't we falling prey to the same cognitive bias here.
