[QUOTE="MorkandMindy, post: 74038794, member: 172332"] Ideally we would collect all the facts before reaching a conclusion, but there are too many facts, and we come across them in clusters of many like facts, often the ones in school history books first and more accurate stuff later, it would take a long time to verify which are true and to collect enough and to search them for timeless truths so we take a short cut of just using what is to hand and our own personal preferences come and presto we have an opinion. that's part of being a human. We reach conclusions, they may not be right but we hope they aren't too wrong. A computer may beat Kasparov but it doesn't have the sense or ability to come in out of the rain. A dog may starve to death exactly in the middle between two equally tasty bones. But humans reach a decision in the time available and it is usually not a bad one, that's heuristics. (actually that dog won't starve either, it isn't totally logical). [/QUOTE]
