But the underlying thought pattern isn't a mistake or flaw. It's a perfectly reasonable baseline assumption that's hardwired into our brains for good reason. When you travel to the Sahara and you assume that it's not going to rain, you will sometimes be mistaken. But that doesn't mean the assumption is a mistake.

But if you see it is raining and you are getting wet (you see the celebrity through the tv and know they can't hear you back), it is likely a mistake to think it isn't raining because you are traveling in the Sahara.
