Question 1 (1 point) Human beings are very good at generating beliefs from observations. This has been very helpful in the survival of the species. What is the inherent problem with this behaviour? Small samples will always provide reliable conclusions. There is no problem with this behaviour. The observations are always correct. Because the set of observations is small, it often ignores the baseline data. It allows people to act quickly in response to a specific situation. People are likely to be much more confident of things they observe themselves.

A problem with using the "commonsense" (tradition) approach to gain knowledge is that: the ideas are usually untestable. everybody knows their notions are true so testing them is unnecessary. commonsense notions are often incorrect when scientifically studied. one should not question established fact.
