Are You a Feminist Bank Teller?
The idea is that the description of a bank teller is not at all descriptive of this person that you just described. But the idea of being a feminist is, and so the feminist bankTeller is kind of fits better with the picture that you have in your head about who this person might be. The fact that people are violating the rules of probability is one thing. But then when you point out to them and they're indignant that they didn't do anything wrong, I include myself in that category. That suggests that there's a real kind of cognitive defect in people that they're incapable of understanding or working in or thinking, or thinking, wanting to line up the probability.
