Abstract

For example, similar cases may be judged very differently by different judges or even by the same judge at different times, as the same happens to physicians, CEOs, teachers, social workers, and practically everyone. We may make more mistakes when we aim to be more nuanced and sophisticated and judge everything case by case. For example, consider one of the prominent cases discussed in the book: judges and how noisy they may be (see Clancy et al. [4], Ch. 6, for a detailed discussion). [Extracted from the article]
