-In this scenario, options 1 and 2 both commit the "Procrustean fallacy", albeit in different ways. The //first// option modifies reality until it fits the mental model (changing the size or the shape of the item until it can be transported safely – damaging the product in the process), while the //second// option ignores or dismisses the facts that give rise to the conflict in order to maintain the mental model – presumably aided by a good dose of [[relevance/wishful_thinking/index|wishful thinking]] in this case.
+In this scenario, the //first two// options are both based on fallacious thinking, albeit in different ways:
+  - Fitting the parcel to the car is akin to the //Procrustean// fallacy: reality is altered to fit the model – in this case, quite literally, the model of a car.
+  - The second case looks like a motley mix of ignorance, [[relevance/wishful_thinking/index|wishful thinking]] and a reckless "it’ll turn out all right" attitude.
