Survivorship Bias: How Ignoring Failures Leads to Misguided Decisions
Survivorship bias refers to the logical error that occurs when we focus on successful examples while ignoring those that did not survive or succeed. This can lead to a distorted perception of reality and misguided decisions in various fields. For instance, in finance, investors might overlook the high failure rates of startups, thus making risky choices based on a few successful cases. Similarly, in entrepreneurship, this bias can cultivate a false sense of confidence in success, as the challenges faced by unsuccessful ventures are often ignored. In the health sector, attention to disease survivors could skew public understanding of illness severity, misinforming health decisions. Additionally, historical narratives may overlook the full impact of events like wars, emphasizing survivor experiences while neglecting the broader context of loss. Recognizing survivorship bias is crucial to avoid poor decision-making based on an incomplete understanding of success and failure dynamics.
