Not about Schemas

Nope, a mental framework and an error are not the same thing.

The schema concept argues that we all have a worldview. The article is talking about answers which can be reached by doing the homework; and yet most folks won't do the homework, and go with an answer which requires the least work.

Its clear from the examples given that folks were using the terms of the question rather than terms they brought to the question. However, they were leaping to an answer without looking too closely.

We are biased in favor of our worldviews, and we are biased in favor of overconfidence in the correctness of our answers to problems with a specific solution. But the underlying phenomenon are not the same.

In short, "schemas" are your "schema." But in looking at the article, you took a shortcut. ;p
