In Response To: Philosophical Question on 'Wrong D/P is not an Error' (Gregg Cattanach)

Gregg saidI'm aware that there is a %chance of a pass value that makes an incorrect double correct. I just think that people overestimate their ability to measure this value, and often are merely rationalizing their bad double after the fact.

Can't agree more.

People used to do this (doubling a no-double in hope to get a pass) should keep track of how much equity they have won/lost thanks to their strategy ... I guess there would be many surprises ...
