I suspect that achieving a clear mental picture of the sheer depth and breadth of the mind projection fallacy is a powerful mental tool. It's hard for me to state this in clearer terms, though, because I don't have a wide collection of good examples of the mind projection fallacy.

In a discussion yesterday, we all had trouble finding actual example of the mind projection fallacy. Overall, we had essentially two examples:

• Taste. People frequently confuse "I like this" and "this is good." (This really subsumes the attractiveness example.)
• Probability. This seems like a pretty good just-so-story for where frequentist probability comes from, as opposed to Bayesian probability.

Searching for "mind projection fallacy" on Less Wrong, I also see:

• Thinking that purpose is an inherent property of something, instead of it having been placed there by someone for some reason. (here)
• Mulling or arguing over definitions to solve object-level problems. (actually, most the ways words can be wrong sequence)

Imagine I'm trying to explain the mind projection fallacy to someone, and giving a handful of sharp, clear examples before explaining the general principle. What are some examples I could use? (I really want to explain it more sharply to myself, but also to members of my meetup.)
