Confirmation Bias is a tendency for people to favor information that confirms
their preconceptions or hypotheses regardless of whether the information is true
or not. Those with confirmation bias tend to notice and to look for what
confirms their beliefs, and to ignore, not to look for, or undervalue the
relevance of what contradicts their beliefs. Now hear a talk on
