Removed sentence

I removed the following sourced sentence: "Most decisions are followed by some form of cost-benefit analysis.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Doya |first=Kenji |coauthors=Michael N Shadlen |title=Decision Making |journal=Current Opinion in Neurobiology |year=2012 |volume=22 |issue=6 |pages=911–913 |doi=10.1016/j.conb.2012.10.003}}</ref>"

Unfortunately I don't have access to the source, but this sentence was originally added by Barrie99. To me, the original sentence written by Barrie99 sounds like a probable misrepresentation of the source. "Decisions are likely to be involuntary and following the decision, we spend time analyzing the cost and benefits of that decision." Decisions are likely to be involuntary - to the best of my knowledge, this is just a theory, and not yet accepted facts. And do we really make a cost-benefit analysis after the involuntary decision?? So I removed the sentence, but please feel free to put it back in if you do have access to the article, and the sentence is correct and I am wrong! Lova Falk talk 19:08, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
