The post is somewhat incomplete without also discussing the cost of the wrong decision. You obey the smoke alarm because the cost of ignoring the alarm when it is a true positive is potentially infinite (you die). You ignore the car alarm because (1) most likely it is a false positive but also (2) most likely it is somebody else's car. |
