Similarly, I have not spent much time thinking about this quote (I will post my own thoughts soon), but I wanted to change things up a bit and ask for your opinion first. Here is the quote from Dr. (presumably) Gary Becker as noted in an article by Dr. (again, presumably) S. Stewart:
"Division of labor strongly attenuates if not eliminates any effects caused by bounded rationality. ... it doesn't matter if 90 percent of people can't do the complex analysis required to calculate probabilities. The 10 percent of people who can will end up in the jobs where it's required."
So, a proverbial penny for your thoughts??
