This study should be taught at every business school in the country. - Adam Robinson
Chance is commonly viewed as a self-correcting process in which a deviation in one direction induces a deviation in the opposite direction to restore the equilibrium. In fact, deviations are not "corrected" as a chance process unfolds, they are merely diluted.
— Daniel Kahneman, Judgment Under Uncertainty
