This chapter examines the distinction between conservational and entrenchment models of generalization in relation to rules and decision making. The result indicates that under- and over-inclusive generalizations under the conversational model are applicable to most cases, but they are not as flexible under the entrenchment model. The findings also indicate that rule-based decision making can consequently be considered as a form of decision making where entrenched generalizations provide reasons for decision qua generalizations.Less
