Abstract
Although we welcome Gigereuzer, Todd, and the ABC Research Group's shift of emphasis from "coherence" to "correspondence" criteria, their rejection of optimality in human decision making is premature: In many, situations, experts can achieve near-optimal performance. Moreover, this competence does not require implausible computing power. The models Gigerenzer et al. evaluate fail to account for many of the most robust properties of human decision making, including examples of optimality.
