Thank you for uncovering this resource - it's incredibly helpful!

Thanks for a good answer for not much money. You got the gist of my
clarification, which was really more than my original question.

Yes, I saw the source was the Russel report, so this answer probably
fits my question since I didn't rule that out.

I actually read the primary article, but cannot remember the citation.
It was not "matching behaviors" or "maximizing" as mentioned in the
Russell report.

"Humans tend to match the frequency of previous occurrences in their
guesses." I don't think anyone believes that is how humans make
choices. What humans do is recognize "patterns" - things tend to get
wet after thunder, bison will run over a cliff if stampeeded, every
fifth car is a chevy and the last four were fords,...

Humans have a hard time accepting randomness, so tend to instead
believe there is a pattern. Often this is helpful and an advantage. If
something really is random, though, falsely seeing a pattern is a
disadvantage.

The simplest situation that shows this disadvantage is a binary
choice, where one choice is "correct" with probability p > 0.5. Things
are randomized so either choice can be correct, but overall A is
correct with probability "p" and B is correct with probability (1 -
p).

If things really are random, the best strategy is to always guess A,
and be correct with probability "p". No other strategy is better.

Humans tend to believe there is a pattern, or that "B" is "overdue" is
there are several A in a row. So, occasionally humans will guess B,
reducing the probability of being correct.

This was part of a longer article, and wasn't really the main point.
So it wasn't directly related to the title of the article. The wall
street journal quoted it a couple of years ago, giving the author.
From that I found the actual article, but can't remember the author's
name.

Oh, well.

Many thanks for an interesting answer. I suspect from your answer very
few Foreign Operatives actually were in place in China over the Maoist
period.
I am also curious if James Lilley was actually an American agent during his
1975 to 1978 period in China.

My reason for this question was as a result of reading about a Soviet
Agent who was based in Beijing in the Mid Seventies. The agent's
codename was FENIKS  and he was actually North Korean. Because of
friendly relations between China And North Korea, the Chinese
government passed some highly secret documents to North Korean
Diplomats. FENIKS who was a North Korean diplomat (in Beijing) passed
this information onto Soviet agents.

Your idea of writing a book on the subject of my two questions on
China has intrigued me. For the moment it would be one of the World's
smaller books. However maybe I shoould indeed take up the challenge.
Kind Regards

Thank you very much. I appreciate the insight, which will helps me
greatly in determining my next steps. Besides a similar role at
another company, I hope to also explore alternative roles for me
within the real estate industry.

CZH,

This is terrific work, as always.  I plan to start with "The Book That
Changed My Life : Interviews with National Book Award Winners and
Finalists."  After that, I'll work my way through the rest of your
list.

Thanks again!

Thanks, and good explaination. Now I understand the usage in pharma as well.

Thanks so much!  This helps out...  I think by now if there's a

Great Research ------ You confirm my suspicion that the amendment was
planted in the law and then acted upon without establishing a standard
for the debt or the civil recovery fee.  We have to keep working to
maintain OPEN Government in the interests of a healthy democracy and
research and the internet and Google works towards this end.
I will continue my march.

Thankyou czh.

CZH:
Thank you for you'r kind assistance.

mind...Please, feel free to let me know. All the best. Thank you

The person did not go into enough detail.

Your answer is really thorough and gave me the information I needed. 
I'm very impressed with your work.  The "search inside" tool was
useful (thanks for telling me what pages to look at, too).  I can't
believe all the information you found!  About how long do you think it
took you to put it all together?

Thanks!  I really appreciate that you told me a little bit about each
link, too.  It looks like it was a huge undertaking - how long did it
take you??

Excellent! I'd searched for "esque" pages and didn't find much, but
didn't know of any of the tools you pointed to! Thank you, and again,
my apologies for the confusion on the other question. Let's do
business again... ;)
