The main idea of an article published more than two years ago (1) meant that it is difficult to modify a popular belief, is both positively and negatively, but it is fair that we find it hard to move up the social consideration, but reaching a slip unfortunate for the reputation acquired with years of excellent records are shattering.
With just a few tweaks, it happens on a social level we can think individually.
To be brief and clear, I have no choice but to appeal to a painful example, cruel, annoying.
Often whenever some unfortunate happens to one of our fellow citizens (neighbors, people of our country, individuals), the media (newspapers, radio, television), make a very broad coverage, intense, dramatic and eventually shocking that personal misfortune.
I'm thinking, for example, in an act of medical malpractice, a homicide caused by a supposed offender jailed in a kidnapping-for-ransom.
Our brain, our sensitivity, our emotions are shocked abnormally if the media give such personal misfortunes magnitude national tragedy.
Our minds can not discern that this is an isolated case, but unfortunate individual, personal, inherent in the misfortune of a person or possibly a few people close to the victim.
I propose that the exaggeration thinking communicators atrophy, distorted, impoverished our ability to compare, magnify, assess, weigh, estimate, measure, appraise, assess, calculate.
Worse, we lose track of how proportionality respond to injury, for example, hitting who insult us.
In the workplace, this disability takes away competitiveness and efficiency.

medios de comunicación atrofian nuestro juicio.
