http://asqbuffalo.org We should only believe things for which there is adequate evidence. But what evidence is adequate? We decide based on our experiences, beliefs, judgments, and reasoning. However, we often commit logical fallacies (errors in reasoning). When this happens either sound evidence is rejected or questionable evidence is accepted while leaving us feeling that we have made the right decision. Recognizing these errors can help us avoid making wrong decisions and promote data based decision making.
