This is rich with availability bias. Just because you have had this experience doesn't mean that's possible for other people to do routinely. It sounds like a long tail event and using it as an example seems to be baseless. Congrats on being able to get him going, but I certainly wouldn't rely on that happening.

Care to elaborate on what "rich with availability bias" means? I've never heard that one before.

Also, the individual in reference wasn't the of the gender you're assuming.

Availability bias is a behavioral psychology term.

> The availability bias is the human tendency to think that examples of things that come readily to mind are more representative than is actually the case.

Ahh, my apologies, and thank you for the correction on gender.
