It's sort of amusing to me that the evaporative cooling mechanism (though not under that name) was actually proposed by Russel Hardin well before EY got to it.
The amusing part is the proposal is in a book presenting the case that rational choice theory actually explains a lot of apparently irrational behavior, which is, ahem, not exactly the modal viewpoint on Lesswrong.
Can you say a bit more about the book? Does it directly engage the examples/arguments of Kahneman et al that are often used? Did you find the book convincing?
