So, the underlying concept is not that decision under uncertainty is risky and people tend to shy away from it?
Especially people that are trained to think long, hard and nuanced about problems before coming to a conclusion? Because their scientific reputation is at stake?
The coin their business is build around?
The prospect of (a)social/classic media lynch mob, be it on facebook or yellowpress doesn't make the alternative more attractive.
The mob side of the problem is much easier to understand.
It's just the little ham actor in their mind, acting out his temper tantrums on the stage he calls his mind.
"It's me, I must be right.
They tell me I have to change!?
That can't be, finally its me and therefore I know and therefore I'm right.
Beside I don't like to change, it hurts.
Okay, it's just inconvenient, but...but that hurts too, mum"
Who could or would argue with that?
Well, for the most part politicians.
Often leaders.
Seldom good and inspired leaders.
