> Tversky and Kahneman asked subjects whether a random English word is more likely to begin with “K” or have “K” as the third letter.

Not sure what qualifies as a "random English word," but this claim is false for the common wordlist in /usr/share/dict/words and is certainly counterintuitive given that K likes to start syllables or come after C.
