There are a lot of commonsense advices in decision making: e.g., we should consider multiple scenarios, we should consult experts, we should play down emotions. Many of these advices come supported by a surprisingly consistent quantitative evidence. In this paper, on the example of the above advices, we provide a theoretical explanations for these quantitative facts.
