I doubt anyone serious has claimed is a magical antidote to faulty thinking. It does provide strong incentives, which you should trust a lot more than words.

Your point that some people are daredevils who don't care too much about personal risk is interesting though. Hadn't thought about that.
- mjb 3y agoThey aren't just daredevils, though. Check out "Heuristic Traps in Recreational Avalanche Accidents" http://www.sunrockice.com/docs/Heuristic%20traps%20IM%202004.pdf http://www.sunrockice.com/docs/Heuristic%20traps%20IM%202004... for one interesting example: a lot of these people would think of themselves as cautious and informed, and still fall prey to heuristic traps (and, many explicitly don't recommend their sport to others, who they believe may not be informed enough to apply the same cautions).
