Bloody Fossil
I dunno. I think it might make them feel clever to come to some really nice conclusion from basically no data, even when it's obviously complete bull.

"Just as planned."
Because it's a consistent issue humans have in general, unless you're trained in specific fields.
Unless you've been trained to look for more and to keep trying your best not to assume you know everything, people will always think they know what happened.
"Did you expect somebody else?"
Because we evolved that way. Those who see a play of shadows in the bush and conclude it is a tiger tended to survive while those who refrained from such conclusion without thoroughly checking all the facts didn't
If we disagree, that much, at least, we have in common
Because it's easier.
Because it's so much fun!
God, I know right? When that church burned down, they just had to go and harass the one guy with 80 containers of petrol in his basement. Talk about rude!
I often have the opposite problem. I take too long to draw conclusions sometimes.
I see a man running after another in the middle of the street and I wonder if it's a case of mugging or if it's just a friendly race or if their dog ran away or if...

Gaon - that's better than the opposing option. You will at least keep all options open, which is good in plenty of careers.

As do we in economics, because we can never have perfect information and we need to learn to not conclude, but only to say to our best observations.
"Did you expect somebody else?"
Come on guys, just because you walk in and see some dead guy on the floor and I'm standing there with a bloody hatchet doesn't mean you have to start making all sorts of crazy unfounded accusations!
Does anybody else have this problem?
