I came here to say the same. There are things you know but can't quite put the finger on what it is. It often happens to me that I read some news here, see how opinions are evenly divided but to me it's crystal clear what's going to happen. Then it happens. Still I cannot explain why.
Most of the time I think it's a matter of spotting which the heavier factor is.

Sounds a bit like confirmation bias in action to me; there are almost certainly times you are crystal clear on what's going to happen and then it doesn't happen.
- narag 13y agoHi George. Well, it sounds like it. But I don't think it is. Anyway, I'm not trying to say that I'm specially smart or clairvoyant. On the contrary, if I cannot articulate why, it seems like an useless "superpower". I was trying to say (in the vein of the article) that common sense brings us often the answer, but there is a lot of distraction or plain disinformation that clouds the debates.
