    -----
    In theory, having choices is a good thing. But in practice, it can
    be paralyzing.
    ...
    More Doesn¹t Always Mean Better

    Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology recently
    conducted an online experiment in which 111 subjects were asked to
    choose one of sixteen options for a prescription drug plan.
    Participants were given three strategies ­ choosing from the
    sixteen options simultaneously, choosing using 'sequential
    elimination', with four options at a time, and 'sequential
    tournament', in which subjects would choose from four options that
    were put into finalist groups. Participants were also asked to
    specify which strategy they preferred.

    While the sequential tournament was the least preferred strategy,
    participants made the best decisions using the approach. Choosing
    one option from all 16 at once was the most preferred, but
    produced the worst decisions, confirming that the more choices
    that are made available lead to poorer choices. With smaller
    choice sets come better results.

    An earlier study conducted by Sheena Iyengar, a professor at
    Columbia University, sought to prove the same point using jam.
    Iyengar set up a booth at a California grocery store with samples
    of various jams. Every few hours the selection was switched from
    24 different jams to six jams options.

    In the end, sixty percent of the grocery store customers were
    drawn to the larger assortment and forty percent to the six jams.
    However, thirty percent of those drawn to the smaller assortment
    purchased a jar. A mere three percent purchased a jar of jam from
    the larger assortment. Whether or not someone chooses to purchase
    jelly can be inconsequential, but larger decisions like choosing
    the right insurance or retirement plans can have long lasting
    effects.
    ...
    Give yourself restrictions when faced with too many choices.
    Research conducted at New York University found that creativity is
    actually enhanced when you place restrictions on your options.
    Lastly, if the decision is a big one, seek out advice from someone
    with experience. According to psychologist Daniel Gilbert,
    consulting a friend or colleague on important decisions can beat
    your best guess by a factor of two. With these strategies, your
    decision making skills improve, and the likelihood of making an
    optimal choice increases. It's like the saying goes - less is
    more. 
    -----

How many of the COLA "advocates" will understand the science behind this at
all?

Not even relevant.... comes down to you do not understand the science.

Seems to be one of the COLA "advocates" one MUST reject science.

That "study" is not scientific at all.  The items were for *sale*.
You cannot extrapolate conclusions to choices of free things.
What if it was stacks of money of varying sizes and denominations?
You could choose any stack.  Would "too many choices" be a problem? 

Psychology is not a science.  Never has been.  Never will be.

In other words it does not fit your preconceived notions.

> The items were for *sale*.

Not in contention.

> You cannot extrapolate conclusions to choices of free things.

I think it is fair to look at other variables... so why not show such a
study? We do have a real-world example: the many Linux distros. And they get
poor usage... but that does not control for how well these distros compete
(and they do so poorly). If they competed better we would have a better
scenario. 

> What if it was stacks of money of varying sizes and denominations?

It would likely slow people down. I do not know if it would stop people from
selecting a stack. Good thing to test!

> Psychology is not a science.  Never has been.  Never will be.

This shows you do not know what psychology is. Of course it is a science.

Blogs do not change the fact it is a science. Heck, even if you get some
physics group to deny it that would not change what it is. It is a science.
Not even debatable.

Not sure why you would say one of the social SCIENCES is not a science. I
mean, really, not even defensible. The sciences are, by definition,
sciences.

None of the "social sciences" are sciences.  Self-labeling a field
of study as a "science" does not make it one.

http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/05/the-real-problems-with-psychiatry/275371/
<quote>
A psychotherapist contends that the DSM, psychiatry's "bible" that defines
all mental illness, is not scientific but a product of unscrupulous
politics and bureaucracy.

...

So would you say that these terms -- disorder, disease, illness --
are just different names for the same concept?

I would. Psychiatrists wouldn't. Well, psychiatrists would say it
sometimes but wouldn't say it other times. They will say it when it comes
to claiming that they belong squarely in the field of medicine. But if
you press them and ask if these disorders exist in the same way that
cancer and diabetes exist, they'll say no. It's not that there are no
biological correlates to any mental suffering -- of course there are. But
the specificity and sensitivity that we require to distinguish pneumonia
from lung cancer, even that kind of distinction, it just doesn't exist.

Really... this is stupid. You are denying one of the main branches of
science is, well, a branch of science. I am sure there are other breakdowns
which show things a bit differently, but this ones seems decent:

<https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/75/The_Scientific_Universe

Have you made a personal choice to reject any of the other branches of
science or just the social sciences?

A true science would not bow to social pressure to remove parts of
its body of learning, such as happened with the removal of homosexuality
as a diagnosis in the DSM.  Imagine if the PTB in the field of Physics
caved to pressure from the NAACP to redact discussion of the color force.

What science does not have a part of its past where religion and bigotry
influenced it (and still might). There was a time when saying the Earth was
not the center of the universe was considered blasphemy... people insisted
the Earth must be, that being homosexual was a disease, etc. In the long
term things have gotten better in the sciences... which does not imply they
are perfect now.

But this is completely off the topic. The fact that people, even scientists
and even major scientific societies, have thought thing we now see as being
absurd does not make them not sciences. In fact, the fact they have changed
and grown and (for the most part) backs they idea they are sciences.

As I noted: in your effort to reject science to back Linux you showed you do
not understand science well.

The cries of blasphemy came from those outside the field.

This was people *within* the science who determined homosexuality to be
a disorder.

It was not a scientific enlightenment in the field of psychology that
led them to remove homosexuality from the DSM.  It was political and
societal pressure.  This is not science.

In the modern world, what other science besides the "science" of
psychology would cave societal pressure to alter its knowledge base for
sake of PC conformity?  (Climatology, I suppose, but that's a field not
much more deserving of the label "science").

Are you suggesting there were no scientists who fought against that growth
or any other? Even fought hard and cruelly? But even if so, so what? This
has gotten FAR off the topic of if a science is a science. Keep in mind that
by definition it is... so there is no real question here, just you working
to change the topic to defend the "choice" mantra of the "advocates." The
reality is there are pros and cons to the level of choice we see.

Again, so? There were people in the scientific community who thought (and
think) many things we now do not see as being even remotely likely to be
true. Not sure why you are even bringing this up.

It was seen as a disease based on bigotry. Now that has been reduced. Good.

Bigotry, perhaps, should be added as a mental disorder -- it shows biased,
self-serving, irrational thinking.

Not relevant and, as noted, physics did so with where Earth and humans are
in the natural world. Our egocentricity has lead us to make many silly
claims... or at least claims that in retrospect were silly.

It, too, is a science... and when do you think it has done as you say? There
are very few climate scientist who agree with the whacky right-wing deniers
of the evidence. To the extent there are a small number who do disagree with
the majority consensus that is a GOOD thing. Science is not about having 100
consensus, esp. on newer areas of study.

Sorry, but from the HSR training I've received and from the HSR
protocols that I've professionally reviewed, that's not actually a disqualifier.  


> You cannot extrapolate conclusions to choices of free things.

Actually you not only can, it this sort of scientific research it is _expected_
that one's hypothesis be generalizable.  

See 45 CFR 46:

"§46.102(d) Research means a systematic investigation, including research 
 development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to 
 generalizable knowledge.

Interesting hypothesis, but just what does the current literature say?  
You'll need to show this in your protocol proposal.

Google definitions:

psy·chol·o·gy

"the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, especially those 
     ^^^^^^^^^^
affecting behavior in a given context."


And similarly from Wiki:

"Psychology is the study of behavior and mind, embracing all aspects of 
conscious and unconscious experience as well as thought. It is an academic 
discipline and an applied science which seeks to understand individuals 
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Where that author got his 'definition of science' is without citation.  And what this really
all comes back to is that the field is so damn complex that it is still struggling through
what's the equivalent of alchemy for chemists.  

...but that doesn't mean that gunpowder was never discovered.  Or bronze.  Or steel.  
Nor did these all get reproduced through random chance, rather than the scientific
method figuring out repeatable methods, even if all of the in-depth chemistry and
metallurgy and physics wasn't yet fully understood:  the behaviors and correlations 
thereof still exist even if our explanation as to why still lack full fidelity such as 
exists in other, literally easier scientific disciplines.   Such as undergraduate physics.

over how you were schooled (which deliberately included citations).

I have a house with 700 rooms.  In one of the rooms is bag full of
diamonds.  You get to keep the diamonds if you find them.  You get 
to check every room.

Hmm.. 700 rooms.  That's a lot of rooms.  Maybe too many?

I offer you $1,000 to walk away and not look for the diamonds.
What do you do?
