Emperor Qin's Tomb The Terra-Cotta Army protects the tomb of China's first emperor.

Workers digging a well outside the city of Xi'an, China, in 1974 struck upon one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in the world: a life-size clay soldier poised for battle.

The diggers notified Chinese authorities, who dispatched government archaeologists to the site.

They found not one, but thousands of clay soldiers, each with unique facial expressions and positioned according to rank. And though largely gray today, patches of paint hint at once brightly colored clothes. Further excavations have revealed swords, arrow tips, and other weapons, many in pristine condition.

The soldiers are in trenchlike, underground corridors. In some of the corridors, clay horses are aligned four abreast; behind them are wooden chariots.

The terra-cotta army, as it is known, is part of an elaborate mausoleum created to accompany the first emperor of China into the afterlife, according to archaeologists.

11 lessons from Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment by Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein:

1. Noise is variability in judgment that is not explained by random chance. It is the unwanted variability that occurs when different people or groups of people make judgments about the same thing.

2. Noise is everywhere. It occurs in many different fields, including law, medicine, finance, and education.

3. Noise can have serious consequences. It can lead to unfair and inaccurate decisions. For example, noise in criminal sentencing can lead to some people being sentenced to longer prison terms than others for similar crimes.

4. Noise is often invisible. We are not always aware of the noise in our own judgments, and we may not be able to detect it in the judgments of others.

5. There are a number of factors that can contribute to noise. These factors include cognitive biases, individual differences, and group dynamics.

6. Noise can be reduced. There are a number of strategies that can be used to reduce noise in judgments, such as using structured decision-making processes and multiple independent judgments.

7. Reducing noise is important for fairness and accuracy. When we reduce noise, we are more likely to make fair and accurate decisions.

8. Reducing noise is important for organizational performance. Organizations that make fairer and more accurate decisions are more likely to be successful.

9. Reducing noise is important for democracy. When citizens make fairer and more accurate decisions, democracy is stronger.

10. Individuals can reduce noise in their own judgments by being aware of cognitive biases, using structured decision-making processes, and seeking feedback from others.

11. Organizations can reduce noise by using structured decision-making processes, multiple independent judgments, and diversity of thought.
