CONT

[S]elon Huber (1991), la connaissance acquise n'est pas toujours véridique. [...] Pour March et Olsen (1976), une construction intellectuellement cohérente d'un évènement peut notamment répondre à une cause mal identifiée. D'ailleurs, les comportements de satisfecit conduisent souvent à de telles situations, car la première explication plausible est alors tenue pour vraie par des acteurs à la rationalité limitée (Levitt et March, 1988).
