When I installed this part, it became amazing!!!
Performance improved dramatically!!!
When you paint the exterior wall with this, the room temperature drops 5 degrees!!!
Installing this cuts your electricity bill by 20%.
Don’t you hear these catchy phrases all the time, now and in the past? You do, always… (‘;’)
Objectively speaking, maybe I should try this? I’m curious? I think the same way about my own body, motorcycles, and other things.
But whether that’s fact or interpretation, when you look at it objectively and shift your perspective and way of thinking, I think things change.
For example, you often see descriptions like “this coolant really cools things down.” It’s written something like minus ○○°C~.
What’s written in the fine print on the back is probably experimental results (numerical results), so I’m not sure, but that’s fact.
After the swap, you take it for a test ride and feel like the heat went down or the temperature seems to have dropped—that’s interpretation.
When fact and interpretation (review-like elements) combine, they create a very powerful result and tend to gain credibility.
For example,
suppose a salesperson says about some product, “If you add this, fuel economy and feel will improve!”
The claim that fuel economy improves (or improved) is so vague in its experimental element (numerical component) that it’s hard to judge as fact.
And when someone says “Ah, the feel really improved after adding this part♪,” that’s something others can’t possibly understand, so it becomes interpretation.
Humans sometimes have a sixth sense kick in about such matters—”that’s suspicious,” “can’t tell,” “what’s really going on?” “placebo or legit?”—and they sense the gap between fact and interpretation.
When you’re troubled, if you apply the judgment of whether something is fact or interpretation, you might be able to move forward without needing someone to give you a push, or stop without needing someone to hold your hand.
However, there may be people in the world who can judge even without facts (numerical elements), people with truly refined taste and wonderful interpretation.
And we can’t rule out the possibility that research results (facts) are being fabricated. *I suspect this happens more often.
So what should we trust? you might think. People with refined taste probably eat plenty of bad food and learn from experience. There’s much to gain from failure.
If you don’t get swept along by others, sometimes take them as reference, and always choose in the direction where “you won’t regret it,” I think the degree of regret will be less.
I hope this becomes a quick note for you when judging things. (‘;’)
