In my experience just now I think the "old system" and "new system" makes sense. After reading the problem my initial reaction was "8 & Blue". I thought about it for a couple seconds and immediately realized it would be "8 and Green", which was the correct answer.

After taking a second to reason about the problem, the answer came and made sense. I guess that's why it's always good to take a second to choose your words, etc in day to day life?

I had the same experience (initially picking the wrong color card but then saying, wait, no, I'm a math major. Contrapositive, duh)... So, yeah it seems like the system1/system2 makes experiential sense. But: are we not using system 1 to evaluate the system1/system2 system?
