Mistaking local maxima for global maxima, or mistaking local minima for global minima, happens way too often. This happens across everything (peak child, global reproduction rates, covid, stock market etc)

i wonder if humans lived for 1000 years whether the rate of mistake would drop or if the scale of the minima/maxima being considered just changes (e.g. local goes from 1month timeframe to 1year)
