This is an excellent post, thank you.
An earlier comment of yours pointed out that one compensates for overconfidence not by adjusting ones probability towards 50%, but by adjusting it towards the probability that a broader reference class would give. In this instance, the game of reference class tennis seems harder to avoid.
Agreed.
