Lesson 21 of 22 · 12 min

The traps that turn literacy back into tips

Recency is not a lapse of attention — three months of data pins a drift to ±32%, and 256 years are needed to tell 7% from 5%. The sample does not contain the answer.

What you will be able to do

After this lesson you can compute how long a sample would need to be to support a claim about drift, explain why searching for supporting evidence always succeeds and therefore cannot be evidence, and describe the ordering fix that works where willpower does not.

Inside this lesson

  • The last path feels like the law
  • When you catch yourself saying always
  • You will find a node that agrees
  • Paper courage, and the fixes that actually work
