Just found this:
The Fundamental Attribution Error occurs when one believes another person's actions (such as committing a crime) to be because of their personality, and not their situation. This most often occurs when we do not know the other personally.

For example, if you walk across me on the street and bump into my shoulder, then turn to blame me and yell, committing the Fundamental Attribution Error would be saying you are a mean person. In actuality, you may have just gotten fired, or received bad news and so are in a bad mood, and are usually quite nice.

Is it okay to commit this Error? It obviously could have repercussions. I may assume that a criminal committed such a crime because they are evil, not because they had no other option. Some would take that assumption and use it as means to kill that criminal. Some would use a notebook to do so.

Doesn't that sound like a person the most of us know?
