How do we decide what's interesting? Someone shows me a little bottle: "this ointment cures hair-loss." I won't investigate further. He shows me before/after pictures. Not interested. He says "there are 80,000 books written about it." I'll just keep walking. Closed-minded?
pattern recognition (or conformity thinking) tells you it's not worth your time

Yes, but I think that wasn't my question. Let me re-phrase: what would tell me that I should buy the bottle? The man has a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine? He has lots of hair everywhere? He drives a Ferrari? He seems otherwise reasonable? I never believed in hair-loss?

Tough for me to answer because I lack tons of context: - Are you even losing your hair? I have no idea. - Are you watching him on TV? A street hawker? I think the simplest correct answer to "what would tell me that I should buy the bottle?" is A trusted friend's recommendation
