Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Confirmatory hypothesis testing involves asking questions in a way that leads to the desired answer, rather than truly seeking objective information. This can be a problem because it can make us more confident in our beliefs, even if they are not accurate. The other options (availability heuristic, cherry-picking of evidence, and overconfidence) are related to cognitive biases and errors in thinking, but they do not specifically refer to asking questions to get the answers we want.
