The Linda who skipped the logic classes

What is it about?

The letter points to a logical mistake found in “The conjunction fallacy in probability judgment” published by Tversky and Kahneman. Currently, at least 5,100 research papers reference this work, and an entire field of associated studies has been created based on the paper. These works assume the correctness of the original publication and reproduce the error without due critical analysis.

Why is it important?

There is a large body of researchers who take for granted the original paper’s argument. This results in the propagation of the error. This problem needs to be addressed urgently.
