React or Respond?
There are times when the “fight or flight†reaction is useful. For example, if a car is careening down the street at you, pausing to ask a few questions about why the driver is speeding is unlikely to be your best strategy. Like our caveman, getting the hell out of its way is definitely the wiser tact.

They chose the wiser tact by going for a sure thing and an amount significantly below the judgment (56%).

Not to worry. The search engines on this forum can be tricky. Besides, it’s good to be reminded of some of these classics.
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
