• Why Do Humans Reason? Arguments for an Argumentative Theory by Hugo Mercier by Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber, Behavioral and Brain Sciences 2011
  • "if a hypothesis is presented as coming from someone else, it seems that more participants will try to falsify it and will give it up much more readily in favor of another hypothesis (Cowley & Byrne 2005). The same applies if the hypothesis is generated by a minority member in a group setting (Butera et al. 1992). Thus, falsification is accessible provided that the situation encourages participants to argue against a hypothesis that is not their own."
  • "Taber and Lodge (2006) have demonstrated that, in the domain of politics, attitude polarization is most easily observed in participants who are most knowledgeable (see also Braman 2009; Redlawsk 2002). Their knowledge makes it possible for these participants to find more counterarguments, leading to more biased evaluations."
  • "when a more easily justifiable decision is not a good one, reasoning still drives us in the direction of ease of justification."
  • "contrary to common bleak assessments of human reasoning abilities, people are quite capable of reasoning in an unbiased manner, at least when they are evaluating arguments rather than producing them, and when they are after the truth rather than trying to win a debate."
  • in the Reasoning as a lie detection device comment: "To solve the paradox, we must depart from [Shared Knowledge Optimization] SKO. My proposal (Dessalles 1998) is that humanlike reasoning started with logical consistency checking (CC), and that humans used it as a lie detection (LD) device. As a response to the risk of appearing self-contradicting, the ability to restore consistency (RC) through argumentation emerged. In this game, information quality is not what is at stake. The point for individuals is to advertise (AD) their ability to perform or resist LD. This advertisement behavior makes sense within a costly signaling model of human communication (Dessalles 2007; 2008)."
  • in the comments, mention of Little's "nonreflexive fallacy"
  • reasoning would be a form of deep error-detection for the receiver, like hashing or checksum functions used in non-human communication, either by mistake or by intended by the message senders
    • the message is also checked against the receiver own model though, not just against itself
  • does this model also have consequences on programming paradigm related to reasoning? e.g. machine learning vs. rule-based? CP vs MIP? each technique providing different epistemic affordancepause page 34
