Since we talked about Daniel Kahneman, I found this piece <http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2016/12/kahneman_and_tversky_researched_the_science_of_error_and_still_made_errors.html> useful. Casts a shadow on *Thinking Fast and Slow-- *especially where the book talks about social priming. It does however, say:
"One bias they discovered—people’s tendency to overvalue the first piece of information that they get, in what is known as the “anchoring effect”—not only passed a replication test, but turned out to be much stronger than Kahneman and Tversky thought." And yes to asynchronous over real-time any day!
