We disagree. As indicated above, some specula- tions about correlations between judgments of riski- ness and risk characteristics proved to be true upon empirical examination. Many other ,, however, &d not. The characteristics associated with the factor labeled “Unknown Risk” showed little correlation with risk judgments, while the third factor, “Ex- posure,” was only moderately related. And experts’ judgments of risk were unrelated to any risk char- acteristics or factors (except annual mortality).
