First Instinct Fallacy

Should this be added? In which section would it go? Emilimo (talk) 13:58, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Are there reliable sources naming and describing it? Paradoctor (talk) 14:14, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

That is a good question; thank you for the reply. I'm not sure of the answer. I suppose it would help to say I learned of it in Daniel H. Pink's The Power of Regret. I have ordered a personal copy of the book and will cite it directly when it arrives. Also I'll investigate further sources and report any findings along with the Regret citation.

This is the original paper coining the term. Kruger is the one from Dunning-Kruger, so this a solid source. IMHO sufficient for an entry. If nobody objects, you are good to go.
