Mental Model
Survivorship Bias | A form of selection bias where the survivors – or the illuminated data – of a particular subject are disproportionately evaluated.
A commonly held belief is that machinery, equipment, and goods manufactured in previous generations often is better built and lasts longer than comparable items built during present times. You usually hear someone say: They don’t make ’em like they used to
. But because of the selective pressures of time and usage, it is inevitable that only those items which were built to last will have survived into the present day.
