This is true, but there are some of us who try to look at the big picture instead of focusing on everything with a one-sided point of view.

I've actually been berated for trying to look at an argument from both perspectives. It's about bass ackwards for sure. :\

In the end, people will always be people. A sad, harsh reality. /sigh

People don't like to admit their faults or ignorance to the matter at hand. Especially not on the internet.

Perhaps we're all guilty of this at one point or another. Some more often than others >.>

The Gambler’s fallacy is the tendency to think that future probabilities are altered by past events, when in reality, they are not. Certain probabilities, such as getting a heads when you flip a (fair) coin, are always the same.
