Passage 3： The Pitfalls of Data - Driven Decision - Making数据驱动决策的陷阱
Managers today have more tools for decision - making, yet new risks emerge. (1)____. While they know human judgment can be wrong and have vast data and AI at their disposal, the shift towards data - based decisions has its own set of problems.
The concept of “quantification fixation” is a significant issue. （2）_______.

The reason might be that data is great for making comparisons. (3)_______. In an experiment about choosing software engineers for promotion, participants' choices changed based on which criterion was quantified.
However, not everything can be easily quantified. (4)___________. Some aspects like a firm's culture or a founder's resilience are mushier and harder to express numerically. Even if we try to quantify everything, numbers don't always tell the whole story.

干扰项分析：
D 选项：“人们倾向于过度信任数字”，虽然与文章主题相关，但相比 A 选项，它没有直接指出这种倾向对决策的影响，与上下文衔接不够紧密，所以是干扰项。
E 选项：“但这种优势也会导致片面的决策”，文章在此处重点并非强调数据比较优势带来的片面决策，而是阐述证实偏差等其他认知偏差，所以 E 选项与上下文逻辑不符，是干扰项。
