You have been such a help in writing my university essay sir. I've watched only 2 of your videos and you've explained things so much more clearly than my lecturers. Thank you.

[@Stretesky]

Thank you for spelling out these lessons. People need to be taught how to healthily think, more than want to think. Too often constructive, thinking skills are completely neglected, not valued, or not taught.

Could someone define a term I'm trying to think of? What would you call an attribution error where an incorrect cause is attributed to the observed effect?
