Hold one public decision still and change only the name. Tversky and Kahneman's Asian disease problem (Science, 30 January 1981) already flipped the sure-option share from 72 percent to 22 percent on identical numbers. The civic version is Frank Luntz's "death tax" versus "estate tax," scored against the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act signed 7 June 2001. The clinical version is DSM-III Attention Deficit Disorder (1980) versus DSM-II Hyperkinetic Reaction of Childhood (1968) on the same classroom complaints. If the choice does not move, the essay's academic-container story is enough. If it moves, the missing object is a competing public name, not a journal for legal compilers. Author dispositions stay author-owned.
