At least in my ideal poster-space this hierarchy would be included. Considering that knowing about biases can hurt people having a general theme of how to resolve arguments better rather than “here are some fallacies, avoid them/point them out” can’t hurt.
You could make a top level distinction between problems with arguments (or how they are presented) and problems with thinking (or decision making), though there would be overlap. But I think, for a single poster, it might be overly ambitious to try to include both logical fallacies and cognitive biases.
And confusing—if someone makes use of a fallacy in an argument, is the bias in the person who is persuaded by the argument, in the person presenting the argument, or both?
From reading the other comments, this poster makes a three-way top level distinction.
Along similar-ish lines, it might be possible to use the hierarchy to score the quality of an argument. Essentially you’d assign a score from −4 to +4 for DH0 to DH7, then score an argument based on it’s content. Although once you know it contains (say) a DH4 argument, you wouldn’t keep on adding points for more DH4 arguments (otherwise an argument that was purely lots of DH4 statements would get a higher score than one DH7 statement).
It depends.
Usually you don’t make use of a fallacy, it’s more that you unknowingly commit one. If that’s the case then the bias is in both you and the person who is persuaded by it.
On the other hand if you intentionally use a fallacy in order to persuade someone, you’re a) dabbling in the dark arts and b) not actually biased (as you’re not convinced by your own fallacy). However if you succeed in persuading someone with this method then that person would be the one with bias.
