"原文为:“ They are not successful because they predict prices well.”直译应该是:他们不成功是因为他们很好地预测了价格。有可能是笔误或排版错误。结合上下文,应该是:They are successful not because they predict prices well. ——译者注"
"People tend to see patterns where none exists, and it only takes a few well-chosen examples to convince someone that a pattern has meaning."
"Once you believe you have found a pattern and become convinced that it works (by means of a few well-chosen examples), you will do everything you can to avoid evidence that it does not work."
