"Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman (2011) (http://bit.ly/3ajy18B)

“An unbiased appreciation of uncertainty is a cornerstone of rationality — but it is not what people and organizations want. Extreme uncertainty is paralyzing under dangerous circumstances, and the admission that one is merely guessing is especially unacceptable when the stakes are high. Acting on pretended knowledge is often the preferred solution” (p. 263).
