Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

And if possible, if you can have them compare

The Knowledge Project

share the same frame of reference with other underwriters, you're going to cut down on the noise.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

Oh, that's a clever idea, yeah.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

Controlling the scale.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

And that exists in human resources.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

Where performance evaluation, which is one of the scandals of modern commerce, how difficult it is, but performance evaluation, they have the thing that's called frame of reference training, which is teaching people how to use the scale.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

There's a lot of variability in the scale.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

And a part of what the superforecasters do, they make judgments in probability units, and they teach them to use the probability scale.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

So learning the scale is a very important aspect of reducing noise.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

Oh, a lot.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

Yeah.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

There's been a replication crisis in psychology.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

And some of the stuff that I really believed in when I wrote Thinking Fast and Slow, some of the evidence has been discredited.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

So I've had to change my mind.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

What are the, what's the biggest?

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

Some of the sexiest stuff.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

Priming and unconscious priming.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

And so this hasn't held up in replication.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

And I believed it and I wrote it as if it were true because, you know, the evidence suggested it.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

And in fact, I thought that you had to accept it because that was published evidence.
