Side note that Gary Klein and Naturalistic Decision Making is a fascinating field! Cedric Chin’s writing at Commoncog sparked my interest in the field, and Jared Peterson on Substack has some thoughtful writing. The whole field gives some pretty compelling ideas that touch on where Kahneman’s research is incomplete in regards to expertise.
