Henry Brighton

Cognitive scientist and frequent Gigerenzer co-author, credited with the 2006 cross-validation reanalysis that reportedly reversed Chater, Oaksford, Nakisa & Redington's 2003 verdict against take-the-best, and co-author of "Homo Heuristicus" (2009) and its 2011 methodological reply to Hilbig & Richter. He matters to the vault as the central named figure whose unreplied-to 2006 critique this whole corroboration thread turns on — and whose own AAAI 2006 paper, on direct inspection, does not contain the specific city-population reanalysis it is cited for, leaving the primary source of the reversal claim still unlocated.
