Nancy didn't deal with that point in detail for good reason: simply put, there's no general prejudice against people with wide feet
How many times am I going to have to explain this? People do have prejudices based on the fashions that others wear, and a major part of this is shoes. Therefore, having such sharp restrictions on what shoes you can wear will amplify this is existing prejudice. Therefore, people endure additional discrimination as a result of having wide feet, even though "wide feet" does not register as a negative quality in and of itself.
I explained this from the very first post where I brought up wide feet!
it may be that in some circumstances they end up taking a status hit, but no one suffers a status hit for catering to wide-feet people the same way they do if they are perceived as actively catering to fat females. I tentatively suspect that Nancy didn't reply about this because Nancy considered this to be obvious from context.
... yeah. Or, you know, you could just quit coming up with ever-more-contrived theories and go with, "oops, Nancy must have missed that, probably should have been more careful."
Let's put issues with Nancy aside for a minute. Do you agree with my statement that "No one suffers a status hit for catering to wide-feet people the same way they do if they are perceived as actively catering to fat females."?
I'm trying to better understand the relationship between incentivization and rationality, and it occurred to me that it is a "folk fact" around here that large financial incentives don't make cognitive biases go away.
However, I can't seem to find any papers that actually say this. It's not easy to google for (I have tried) so I wonder if the Less Wrong collective memory knows how to find the papers?
Is there a pattern to which biases go away with incentivization? Do we have at least 5 examples of biases that go away with incentivization and 5 examples that don't go away with incentivization?
As an incentive, I'll paypal $10 to the commenter whose answer is least biased and most useful.
