Cognitive Bias

Proverbs 25:8 English Standard Version

Do not hastily bring into court, for what will you do in the end, when your neighbor puts you to shame?

Cognitive Bias: a limitation in objective thinking that is caused by the tendency for the human brain to perceive information through a filter of personal experience and preferences.

Sometimes it is not what we say or how we say it that causes a breakdown in communication. The cognitive bias of the listener can just as easily adulterate what is being spoken.
