Thanks for this find!

The same story, minus the "Sandy", is attributed to the pseudonym Triffat in Antifragile. In light of this text, I think Taleb mischaracterized Diaconis. At least I never would have imagined that the quote was a story "Triffat" was telling about himself!



the idea of Taleb mischaracterizing something doesn't strain my credulity too much ;)


What's mischaracterized?
