Some Definitions (part 1)

Every now and again I run across some concepts of which I do not want to forget. They may be simple or elaborate. At any rate, I include them so that I have some reference; given the state of my memory I think this may be a good thing!

Pareto Principle (aka "The 80/20 Rule"): Roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.

Asch Paradigm (aka "The Theory of Conformism"): One in ten will tend to fall in line with groupthink, even when one knows it is incorrect.
