We make better decisions when we have the right inputs

We make better decisions when we have the right inputs.  The wrong pieces of information–even if they’ve been used unthinkingly for decades–should be scrutinized carefully.  Many difficulties in life are the result of acting on inaccurate information.  Drama can be avoided by asking questions.  In Latin there is a phrase, Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc – ‘after this, therefore because of this’, is an informal fallacy that states: “Since event Y followed event X, event Y must have been caused by event X.” It is often shortened simply to post hoc fallacy.  How often have we jumped to a false conclusion based on association instead of causality.  As a side note, I instruct couples to ask questions instead of criticize.  Get the right information before drawing conclusions.
