But this could lead to mistakes.
-
A classic example by Kahneman and Tversky
-
is you ask people--
-
one group of people how many English words end with "ng"
-
or what proportion of English words,
-
another group of people what proportion end with "ing."
-
It turns out you get much bigger numbers
-
for "ing" than "ng"
-
though, of course "ng" has to--"ing"--
-
sorry, "ng" would include everything with "ing."
-
It's just a lot easier to think about these things.
-
This can show up in the real world.
