Pi:Human intelligence is prone to make mistakes because subconscious associations were not made
The city for conlangs
The human brain does not search for solutions following algorithms. Human intelligence relies on associations that originate in the subconscious. Consequently any single human is prone to make mistakes simply because an association was not made.
This is even true in mathematics, were everything follows logically from a small set of axioms; a mathematician still relies on subconscious associations in the search for explanations and conclusions. It is even more true in many day-to-day decisions.
A possible conclusion is that you might want to rely on group decisions and formal approaches were you don't want to rely on the associations of a single person.
