-\noindent \emph{The explanatory stories that people find compelling are simple; are concrete rather
- than abstract; assign a larger role to talent, stupidity and intentions than to luck; and focus
- on a few striking events that happened rather than on the countless events that failed to
- happen.}
-
-\noindent \emph{The ultimate test of an explanation is whether it would have made the event
- predictable in advance.}
-
-\noindent \emph{Paradoxically, it is easier to construct a coherent story when you know little,
- when there are fewer pieces to fit into the puzzle. Our comforting conviction that the world
- makes sense rests on a secure foundation: our almost unlimited ability to ignore our ignorance.}
