- _delirium 13y agoIn a way it's even an improvement on confirmation bias. With confirmation bias, you have a conclusion you want to sell, and selectively search for evidence that might support it. But with this suggestion, you search for interesting evidence, and then invent a conclusion that it might support, post-hoc.
