Despite the article's imputation that heuristics is a quick vs. accurate trade off, Gerd Gigerenzer's work show that in fact it is usually "quick AND more accurate" when used in the real, "large", world versus the "small" world of games and logical puzzles where all of the rules are known and knowledge of the problem is perfect, with infinite time allowed for optimization and calculation. The video here is well worth watching to counter-balance Kahneman's focus on edge cases where heuristic's break down or the wrong heuristic was applied. http://videolectures.net/ijcai2011_gigerenzer_heuristicus/ http://videolectures.net/ijcai2011_gigerenzer_heuristicus/
