    Able to engage with the content, showed different situations where cognitive biases may influence one's judgment and decision making. (i.e. working with general basic statistics and how this may not be a fair decision making tool, as to when one is not well familiarized with characteristics of the target population). Allowing for fair random sampling suggests that better insights may be drawn from the same target population.
