This educational article on the anchoring cognitive bias advocates for informed reasoning and critical thinking. The content supports Articles 19 (information access) and 26 (education) through freely accessible explanation of a decision-making concept, implicitly promoting the right to knowledge and rational judgment. No significant human rights concerns are evident; the work is primarily neutral on most UDHR provisions while constructively advancing intellectual autonomy and educational access.
