If it weren't for biases and mental shortcuts we would still be busy exploring the search space of how to knap rocks together. And besides, ternary logic is pretty boring. It's just one more option compared to binary logic. Also it doesn't exist in the real world. Try probabilistic logic instead! To me, these answers are framed incorrectly. I don't think in terms of "which answers are correct" but in terms of "what's the probability of each answer being correct?" And the overall distribution of those probabilities comes from all my priors about the situation. One such prior is that age is positively correlated with forgetfulness. It's something that I know because I see it every day, and therefore I internalized it as true. I know it's not true every single time, but it may as well be. It's a heuristic, and a very good one: the chance that I'll be wrong if I say that the 77 year old is forgetful is extremely low. So I feel very confident in giving that answer from a risk/reward perspective.
