John is a 22-year old guy inflicted with stubborn acne. No matter what diet he follows, he’s prone to acne every now and then. John is fed up with his problem, when a friend advises him to turn to a certain herbal treatment for help. John’s friend is neither an expert on herbal medicines, and nor does she know anything about alternative therapy. Yet, John concludes that this particular herbal treatment is going to help him get rid of his problem. His opinion is based on hear-say, and not scientific evidence or any reliable statistical data. He does not know that the treatment might not be authentic, or might be unsuitable for him. He just bases his opinion on his friend’s narrative, and goes ahead with considering the therapy. Example 2
Lisa wants to go on a vacation to Barbados, but does not know anything about the place. She wants to know what to see there, what to do, where to stay, etc.
