Conservatism bias

Wed Oct 15, 2008, 8:22 PM
People tend to cling tenaciously to an opinion. Even when circumstances have changed, most people find it difficult to adjust their view.

A study conducted in 2002 reveals that analysts' forecasts typically trail reality - In fact most 'forecasts' are very good at telling you what has just happened.

Perhaps we should pay heed to Darwin's maxim; adaptability, not strength, is the key characteristic of survival.
