«Confirmation bias, as the term is typically used in the psychological literature, connotes
the seeking or interpreting of evidence in ways that are partial to existing beliefs,
expectations, or a hypothesis in hand. The author reviews evidence of such a bias in a
variety of guises and gives examples of its operation in several practical contexts.
Possible explanations are considered, and the question of its utility or disutility is
discussed.»
