 * fallacy of conclusion drawn from limited evidence or a false premise
 * the fallacy ignores evidence contrary to the conclusion drawn from it
+=== Framing effect ===
+* the 'effect" or phenomenon that people will select an option based upon how it is "framed" in positive or negative terms
+* the framing effect occurs when the options are of equal value (are the same), even if presented in oppositive terms
+** the difference is in how it is presented or perceived by the decision maker
+* examples:
+** 33% survive v. 66% die
+*** A) given this choice, 33% of people will be saved; versus
+*** B) given this choice, 66% of people will die
+**** respondents are more likely to select A) because it focuses on lives" saved" versus "people who will die"
+**** even though both outcomes are the same (33% saved = 66% die)
+** an event has a late registration fee
+*** option A) the late registration fee is highlighted on top of the regular cost of registration
+*** option B) regular registration is treated as a discount from the total cost of late registration
+**** respondents are more likely to select A) because they want to avoid the perceived additional cost
+**** even though the early registration for A) is the same as for B)
+** an opinion poll asks for support of a policy, with emphasis on either its positive or negative impact
+*** A) 100,000 people will get jobs, while only 10,000 unemployed will result
+*** B) 10,000 people will lose jobs, while only 100,000 people will find employment
+**** respondents prefer A) due to its positive emphasis on jobs gained
+**** even though the net jobs gained or lost are the same
 === Gambler's fallacy ===
