One reason not to read things that contain false statements is that it is hard for us to remember that what we read is false even if it explicitly labeled as false.
This may be one more reason why thinking in terms of probability estimates -- which, at least in my mind, are spatially represented and color-coded -- is a good habit to get into.
Hey... how did you develop the whole color coded spacial representation thing? I tend to do that sort of visualization with computers but not in my brain. My brain just goes by feelings and intuition.
I'm not sure; my best guess is that it goes back to some childhood memory of letters/numbers represented in certain ways on various educational toys and the like.
In a similar manner, countries other than the U.S., and U.S. states, have associated colors in my mind, due I believe to a toy globe I had at a very young age. (Interestingly, however, I also have a memory of finding that globe again years later, and discovering that some of the colors were different from what I "remembered"!)
