For those who don't know, cognitive miserliness is a regular psychological condition which exists regardless of intellect level. Some try to make the most of their limits, and others try to waste what they have.
Regardless, the pursuit of simple solutions that provide a sufficient degree of explanatory power while shifting burden of proof onto more complex paradigms suggests flat out mental laziness to consider basic assumptions. It's a way to get away with not having to reflect by saying, "You already reflect more than me, so you should have to reflect more than I do." It's a presumption of further expectation based on past behavior, ignoring how situations change over time.
