Abstract

The juxtaposition "cognitive illusion" is interesting and important. Firstly, I shall try to say why it strikes me as interesting and what's in it that is of importance, by framing it within a historical context. Secondly, I shall address my comments to one alleged cognitive illusion, namely the conjunction fallacy.
