Shortcuts are not always mistakes.

Behavioral Economics
Behavioral economics studies how people actually make choices, and how habits, shortcuts, emotion, and limited attention can change what happens.

Sometimes the problem is the system, not the person.
An individual fix—the i-frame—can help without replacing a structural fix—the s-frame. Good policy asks which level caused the problem.
