Well, then, I guess my competitors will take advantage of my cognitive disability, eat my lunch, and I'll learn my lesson, won't I?
If you're like most people, the least likely claim, by far, is I'll learn my lesson.

Most of us manage to come up with theories to explain our failures that direct blame away from us, and for any unsuccessful startup there are so many obvious candidate explanations for failure that useful self-examination would take a miracle.

Does this apply to women as well?
As far as I know, yes.
