Why This Is a Principle

Derives from dual-process systems (Cognition Operates Through Dual Processing Systems), Hick's Law on decision time (Hick's Law of Choice Time), and speed-accuracy tradeoff (As response speed increases, accuracy decreases along…). Prescribes deliberate calibration of the speed-accuracy dial rather than defaulting to personality.
