                evaluation of suitability
                    based on own merits
            faster than weighing of options
                stop, think, analyze, respond
                    dysfunctional strategy
                        not enough time to use in a real emergency
        experts
            "We sometimes think that experts are weighed down by information, by facts,
             by memories—that they make decisions slowly because they must search through
             so much data. But in fact, we've got it backward. The accumulation of experience
             does not weigh people down—it lightens them up. It makes them fast." Gary Klein
