Ceasing to employ various service groups-for instance at weddings-would inculcate habits of frugality and remove religious impurity, frivolity and vulgarity. In any case, frugality is not simply a life-style choice for the poor. Consequently, it cannot be taken for granted that the non-frugality of connectionist or exemplar-based models should count against their cognitive plausibility. There is a third vision that dispenses with this opposition: rationality through simplicity, and accuracy through frugality. This gaze heuristic illustrates that a smart heuristic can ignore all causal factors, and gain accuracy through its frugality. However, this apparent frugality may have been a reflection of administrative weakness rather than policy strength. To a man who had always thought of frugality and fiscal soundness as his hallmark, it must have been a particularly bitter expe10. The choice procedure is asked simultaneously to optimize accuracy and frugality, without being given a trade-off function between them. We replace the narrow, content-blind norms of coherence criteria with the analysis of heuristic accuracy, speed, and frugality in real-world environments as part of our study of ecological rationality. Computing a trade-off between precision and accuracy would appear to place additional processing demands on the decision maker, contrary to the spirit of speed and frugality. A class of reasoning heuristics characterized by speed and frugality is shown to perform very efficiently in a variety of areas and across a wide range of inference problems. It is done not only with no excessive expenditure of labour but also with great frugality and cheapness. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive.
