OP here. Keep trying folks. Nothing rings a bell so far; I'm beginning to think it's a false memory. To clarify, this term describes someone who makes the overwhelming majority of decisions based solely on his or her experiences even when they have no experience. We all do this at one time or another (engaging in a one off unsafe practice when we know better) but I'm talking about someone who does this all the time. Clear as mud?
Are you talking about a noun or an adjective? That might help a little.
Do you mean a word for "a person who..." or a word to describe "a person who..."?
I once ran across a term that describes someone who makes decisions based solely on whether or not he or she has experience with that topic. I cannot recall the term's name. For example, someone who refuses to consider others' experiences. (Cross-posting in Philosophy, also.) Does anyone recall the term?
