nosce te ipsum (failure at the cave)

I've had people tell me that I should go with my first impression. However, meta-analysis reveals that (in terms of medically related multiple choice questions) I'm more than twice as likely to change a wrong answer to a right one than a right answer to a wrong one.

And that is not a statistically sound decision, my friend.
