Great Crow Fallacy,” the author states, “Cristol’s study was based on more than a couple of random observations. He and his colleagues watched crows foraging for walnuts . . . for a total of over twenty-five hours spread over fourteen days.” In Daniel Cristol’s observation for crows, he observed crows for several days and for a great amount of hours.
