Absolutely. We must have excellent judgement for the sort of situations that will have arisen throughout human history - otherwise we would not be here, our places taken by those who did have excellent judgement.

These tiresome tricks are just not that interesting.

It might be interesting if researchers gave some thought as to why someone with excellent judgement of this type gets some of these questions wrong, but these researchers do not do this since they are too stupid.

Instead of performing these tricks, experimental psychologists should be hanging their heads in shame since it has been shown that statistical fraud is rife within their subject and most of their results are not repeatable.
