cognitive unreliability
Humans are perceptually poor at - and so cognitively unreliable about
- the very big, the very small, the very fast and the very slow; (see here for a quotation from Richard Dawkins' The Blind Watchmaker)
- dynamic systems; i.e. systems that change owing to interconnecting contingencies coming into play; e.g. few humans can compute the best option in answer to the Monty Hall Question.
- logic and rationality; e.g. most humans fail the Wason Test unless it is expressed as a social contract, nor do humans usually play the Ultimatum Game rationally.
It has been argued humans perform much better when a psychological problem is expressed as a social contract.
