Now when she asked the tappers as to how many listeners,
what percentage of the listeners, would actually guess the song correctly.
They said about 50%.
In reality, less than 2.5% guess the song correctly.
And that's a great example of illusion of transparency.
Sometimes also referred to as the curse of knowledge.
Were as a tapper, I hear the song in my head.
I hear the lyrics.
I hear the music, and it is very difficult for
me to envision the mindset of the audience.
That doesn't hear that music, that doesn't hear the lyrics.
We find this problem quite often when experts communicate expert knowledge
to a non-expert audience.
There's often a massive comprehension gap, simply because the experts cannot always
envision and embrace mindset of the non-expert audience.
