Was Simon criticized for oversimplifying human choice?
Some critics have suggested that my models might oversimplify the richness of human judgment and the role of emotions in decision-making. While I focused on the cognitive and informational constraints, it is true that human choices are not always purely rational or calculative. However, my aim was not to deny the existence of intuition or emotion, but rather to provide a framework for understanding the fundamental limits and strategies involved in navigating complex decision landscapes systematically.
