In my eyes, I believe that the fallacy that Mat fell for was WYSIATI. He saw this person and immediately had a story in his own mind about him and about how he thought he was better, bigger, stronger. He was overconfident and whether he knew it or not, it put him in a bad position. In Kahnamen’s article, he points out that they “had made up a story from the little we knew but had now way to allow for what we did not know about the individual’s future, which was almost everything that would actually matter.” (Kahneman 3). It was this exact situation that accounted for the problems we faced that night at the fire. A story was created in Mat’s mind about this guy but what he did not know about him would be the most important.
