That's not a good approach to use for future events.
- jerf 8y agoI should have qualified that with an exclusion for recurring and future events. Identifying present and past times, which is the majority case, is not that difficult. Future times is one of those cases where the availability heuristic fools you; you can readily think of cases where it is a concern, but it is the clear minority of things that have to deal with time.
