Claim ID
not-inherently-irrational
Assertion
Shaw and Nave state that cognitive surrender is not inherently irrational, since deferring to a statistically superior system may be adaptive or optimal in some domains.
Quote
Importantly, cognitive surrender is not inherently irrational. In many domains (e.g., probabilistic settings, risk assessment, or extensive data), deferring to a statistically superior system may be adaptive or even optimal.
