      "heading": "When outcomes make the past seem predictable",
      "point": "Baruch Fischhoff (1975, Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance) showed that knowing an event's outcome changes retrospective estimates of its probability."

      "heading": "What the evidence does not establish",
      "point": "These experiments establish effects under controlled conditions; they do not measure their magnitude in Valais businesses."
