    I sure as fuck don't go through any stupid "heat of the moment" thought process that would result in me shooting another human being and if you really believe the dribble you have said then maybe you need to go hand in your licence.
    I don't get where sociopaths come into this. Is that where a shooter doesn't care one way or another if it's a human? I'm not calling Confirmation Bias an excuse at all. It's one reason these incidents happen, but it does not excuse the behaviour - it merely explains it.

    Your second point makes it sound like you're saying "It'll never happen to me". That's a dangerous attitude. I think awareness of Confirmation Bias can make people safer hunters, IF they employ techniques to minimise it's effects.

    Which bit do you think is bullshit? Confirmation Bias in general, or it's application to the scenario where a hunter misidentifies their target?
