I think the need to be slow and analytically challenge our own beliefs is especially important for situations where we have an emotional response (eg thinking something is outrageous). Emotions cloud our judgments and create intellectual blind spots.

Not a lot of discussion pre trade deadline on Jankowski. If someone said he is ECHL calibre and he's playing well so far, you could say no need to wait to call the poster out.
"Boat Anchor" "40-Point Guy" were claims said when the Flames were after Cozens. Tons of NHL data in his career suggest otheriwse. Not just 6 games.
