[SystemSafety] Fwd: Contextualizing & Confirmation Bias

[Derek M Jones]

Peter,

> But, if you have stayed with me this far, the point is this. It's not an example of confirmation bias. He got the right answer, for goodness sake, when there was a right answer to get. His intuition was spot on.

So its not confirmation bias if, sometime after doing the
analysis, you are shown to be correct?

I have always regarded confirmation bias as not depending on the answer
given and actual answer being correlated in any way.
