Common sense
Relies on peers rather than experts
Seeks consistency
Prefers stories, anecdotal evidence
Accepts supernatural explanations
Doesn't recognize effect of culture on perception
Unfamiliar with basic principles of science
Doesn't easily recognize the implausible
Confuses correlation with cause-effect
Doesn't deal with probability
Doesn't recognize the ambiguity of language
Makes quick decisions
Prefers rationalizing to analysis
Resists new evidence
The paradox of common sense
