Good point, I understand that it is a mathematical concept. The part that is the cognitive bias is when one’s basis for decision making or judgments mirrors the assumptions expressed by that concept, assuming that the simpler solution or explanation is more likely to be the correct one, in the void of evidence indicating that is the actual case. Most cognitive bias can be explained via mathematical concepts, from game theory to pattern recognition to path of least resistance. In fact most of them can. Math is awesome that way.
