Whose Is the Fallacy? A Rejoinder to Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky.
Cohen, L. Jonathan
Cognition, v8 n1 p89-92 Mar 1980
Kahneman and Tversky's critique of Cohen's position on adults' probability reasoning is not valid. If they think Baconian logic is normatively unsound, the onus is on them to explain why. It is valid and useful because nature itself is full of causal processes. (Author/RD)
