Why 9/11 happened
• There were several signals that
9/11 could occur:– A similar foiled plot in 1995– NORAD exercises– Warnings of Al-Qaeda pilot training– Sell-off of shares in United and American
• Lack of communication • Four levels of failure
– imagination, policy, capabilities, and management
• Need to think outside constraints

“Expert Political Judgement” - Tetlock
• Experts less good than chimpanzees
• Different styles– Hedgehogs: know one thing well; rigid– Foxes: discursive; flexible; manage inconsistency
• Can improve using CHAMP:– Comparisons are important– Historical trends can help– Average opinions over diverse groups– Mathematical models should be taken into account– Predictable biases exist and should be allowed for.
