Same idea? 2023
Geoffrey W. Sutton & Bing AI


The false consensus effect is a cognitive bias evident by a person's false opinion that other people share their views, feelings, and behaviors. 

People tend to overestimate the degree to which others are like themselves so the person becomes their own arbitrary standard of what is normal.
