Zebras and what they can teach us about critical thinking
One of my favorite expressions is "when you hear hoof beats, don't look for zebras." Of course, in Zimbabwe the proverb might be different, but the concept is clear - look for simple explanations first, and then move on to the complex. This adage was on my mind this week as I read coverage of two new studies. One dealt with children, media use and obesity; the other with kids' active play given different types of playground equipment.
