"People tend to make predictions that do not fully account for regression toward the mean, leading to overly optimistic expectations about future performance. For example, parents may expect their child who excels academically one year to do just as well or better the next, and shareholders might anticipate continued high profits from a successful company. However, these predictions often overlook the statistical tendency for extreme performances to move closer to average over time. This bias—insufficiently regressive forecasting—can contribute to business failures, poor personnel hiring decisions, and underestimation of risks by professionals such as CPAs. Recognizing the importance of regression toward the mean is essential for making more accurate predictions and better-informed decisions, especially in contexts where past success may not guarantee future results."
