The following line from the abstract:

> Misperceptions persist even after an intervention to improve decision-making.

echoes a finding from the CIA handbook Psychology of Intelligence Analysis, which for some reason lives rent-free in my head:

> Initial exposure to blurred or ambiguous stimuli interferes with accurate perception even after more and better information becomes available.




WTF is "an intervention to improve decision-making"? On what basis do they think that their decision making is better than the participants'?
