Ludic fallacy
In Nassim Taleb’s words, ludic fallacy (or “uncertainty of the nerd”) is the “manifestation of the Platonic fallacy in the study of uncertainty; basing studies of chance on the narrow world of games and dice. A-platonic randomness has an additional layer of uncertainty concerning the rules of the game of real life. The bell curve (Gaussian) or GIF, great intellectual fraud, is the application of the ludic fallacy to randomness.”
