A site called kottke.org offers up a funny look at how you should order food in a restaurant if you follow the precepts of such pop science books as “The Wisdom of Crowds,” “Blink,” or “Freakonomics.” For instance, an acolyte of “The Paradox of Choice” would “take the menu and rip it into 4 or 5 pieces. Order from only one of the pieces, ignoring the choices on the rest of the menu. You will be happier with your meal.”
