Sure, if people are asked to solve a problem and say they can’t after two seconds, yes—make fun of that a bit. But that two seconds covers more ground than you might think, due to System 1 precomputation.
Expanding on this, there is an aspect of Actually Trying that is probably missing from S1 precomputation. So, maybe the two-second “attempt” is actually useless for most people because subconscious deliberation isn’t hardass enough at giving its all, at making desperate and extraordinary efforts to solve the problem.
