Priming with respect to the Florida effect is a famously not replicable result. It's not a real effect. I'm more sympathetic to the word game example, yet it's not obvious how that translates to anything beyond.
With respect to the Hartford Civic Center, as always, it's a little more complicated than that. Yes the architects stood by their calculations, but this was more of a process issue than hubris. Despite the new techniques used, the plans were subject to peer review. Additionally the construction was not fully according to plan. Weaker struts were actually used than called for in the design, and that's on the construction manager rather than the architect.

I was wondering if something like that was the case. It's common practice among structural engineers that they will not inspect the building because then they are liable if they don't catch deviations in construction from what they made calculations for.
