It was mentioned as a book that sparked Julia Galef's initial negative reaction to Gary Klein, due to her misinterpretation of his message.
there's this we call him a decision expert named Gary Klein who's written a number of popular books about decision-making in the real world and I've learned a lot from Gary Klein I cite him in the book and he's also changed my mind about a number of things including pointing out some of the problems with academic studies of decision-making which I hadn't noticed before he's really valuable but I completely discounted him for years after I first heard of him because one of his books is I forget the exact title but it's something like the power of intuition many talks about the power of intuitive decision-making and I just you know I heard that and I knew that he was critical of academic studies and so I immediately mapped him on to this archetype of people that I was already familiar with who say things like you know don't trust science just listen to your gut like right you know scientists may tell you that vaccines don't cause autism but if you believe that they do then you should just trust your own intuition right and so I think that's ridiculous and so I just like lumped him in with those people and didn't really listen to what he was saying and it wasn't until years later that I like read his papers more closely and was like oh this guy's actually he's being very reasonable he's not he's not saying what those people are saying he's just talking about this is kind of intuitive pattern matching things that our brains do.
