Which of the following students provides the most accurate perspective on the availability heuristic?

  c. Angela: The availability heuristic is generally accurate, except that we should be cautious about the recognition heuristic, which is not very accurate.
  d. Magda: Unfortunately, the availability heuristic is the least accurate of the three major heuristics, especially because of the hindsight bias.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
