Its more than that. This study does not isolate based on knowledge or know how as in 'people who actually know answer to an objective question'. This study isolates based on influence of 'social' stimulus.
- JackFr 12y agoBut the thing is, they specifically don't isolate 'social stimulus'. They offer new information, and those who knew they were guessing revised their estimates. Those who had a good idea of the value did not. There is nothing 'social' here at all. A better control would be to ask them how sure they were of their answers, and use that to adjust the bias.
