In the case of Admiral Kimmel and the Pearl Harbor attack, several decision-making traps were evident, including confirmation bias and hindsight bias. Kimmel, facing immense pressure, may have overemphasized intelligence reports that aligned with his belief in Japan's restraint, leading to a lack of adequate preparation. Additionally, hindsight bias in analyzing the attack often overlooks the complex context and uncertainties he faced at the time, simplifying his decisions as purely flawed rather than reflecting the challenging situation he dealt with.
