Why do this to a field in which you aren't expert? And why do this to somebody (me, others) actually working in this field? I don't start talking, e.g., cosmology to cosmologists like I know
. There's literally a sci developed to to look into what you think is "obvious".1 reply 3 retweets 13 likesShow this thread -
Yes, we DO measure, e.g, decision making, visual search, task switching, & on & on. The sci community (psych & neuro) have developed loads of behavioural & brain measures & cunning experimental paradigms, exactly to understand all the things these people claim are unknowable.

Oh, and PS: There's actually research into this BS. Check out the Dunning-Kruger effect and the bias bland spot, for example. Hey, it's almost like there's a field devoted to understanding how people think and behave.
