Mostrar código-fonte de Ilusão de controlo

A '''ilusão de controlo''' (em inglês, Illusion of control) é a tendência que as pessoas têm para acreditar que podem controlar, ou pelo menos influenciar, eventos e resultados sobre os quais, demonstravelmente, não têm qualquer influência.

==Exemplo==
Uma forma simples desta falácia é observável nos casinos: quando jogam aos dados, foi demonstrado que as pessoas tendem a atirar os dados com mais força quando pretendem números elevados, e mais devagar quando pretendem números baixos.
