tendency to “bite bullets” or accepting implications that are highly counterintuitive to others or even to themselves, instead of adopting more uncertainty
I find this contrast between “biting bullets” and “adopting more uncertainty” strange. The two seem orthogonal to me, as in, I’ve ~just as frequently (if not more often) observed people overconfidently endorse their pretheoretic philosophical intuitions, in opposition to bullet-biting.
