Overlooking the presence of regression to the mean, the Israeli flight instructors concluded that the praising the pilots was hindering the pilots ability... the decreases were.. part of a larger picture that involved #RegressionToTheMean.

@Chronotope Also heavily at play here in their decentralization of control is regression toward the mean (Galton, 1886) by spreading out buying decisions over a more diverse group which is more likely to reflect the buying population than one or two corporate buyers whose individual bad decisions can destroy a company.
