Marco uses his experience of studying law to explain commitment bias: continuing with a choice that no longer fits in order to justify time and effort already invested. He recalls noticing the mismatch early but delaying a change. The point is to recognise when seeking consistency leads us to reinterpret a situation to defend the original decision. This is a personal recollection used as an example, not an independent verification of his professional timeline.
Key points
- Time and effort already invested can make changing direction difficult.
- To defend a choice, we may alter our interpretation of the situation.
- Reconsidering how a decision began helps distinguish consistency from stubbornness.
