The paper shows some significant evidence that human coin flips are not as fair as I would have expected (plus probably a bunch of people would agree with me). There’s always some probability that this happened by chance, but this is pretty low.
Of course, we should be able to build a really accurate coin flipping machine, but I never would have expected such a bias for human flippers.
This is why science is awesome and challenging your ideas is important.
Edit: hopefully this is not too wrong a place, but Lemmy is small, and I didn’t know where else I could share such an exciting finding.
Jokes on me! I doubt most of my decisions and the logic that lead up to them!
Evidenced based research ftw, though.
If you’re still young, careful about too much imposter syndrome.
It took me until some reasonably extreme events for me to acknowledge that I was smart.
I’m being a bit facetious. It took me quite a while, and with the help of my best friend, to realize I am smart. I don’t like to say that sort of thing. I am smart when it comes to the things that I know well, but am clueless on so much else.
Exactly.
Just making sure.
I had a lot of trouble gathering that confidence as well until I got into industry.
