I would have asked something about how prospect theory / risk aversion might relate to how people perceive likelihood. For example, Gilbert mentioned that to humans, 0% and 2% likelihoods are very different (makes sense, as this is the difference between impossible vs possible) whereas 2% and 22% are more similar. I wonder how this might relate to the concave / convex value function that people have when assessing risk.
