I'm attracted to epistemological heuristics like a cat is to catnip, and this one seems like a classic to me.

Zeynep's law: Until there is substantial and repeated evidence otherwise, assume counterintuitive findings to be false, and second-order effects to be dwarfed by first-order ones in magnitude.

this was confusing to parse because I was trying to figure out how "a cat is to catnip" is a viable example of an epistemological heuristic.
