If you plan on reading the article, you should probably do so before reading this comment so as not to bias your eye.
I originally misread the article title as “Logical Fallacies That Make You More Wrong Than You Think” which had me placing a high level of confidence that the title was a deliberate shout out to LessWrong. I was made sad when I re-read it and saw it’s “Wrong More” rather than “More Wrong”. Still, the article gives me a strong “the author is familiar with Less Wrong” vibe. Anyone else picking this up, or is this confirmation bias on my part?
Probably confirmation bias. Note also that caring about cognitive biases has become a lot more popular in the last few years. You Are Not So Smart is another example of a popularization. They now have a successful book. Another recent successful book on this subject was “Mistakes Were Made But Not By Me” so there are a lot of sources to see this sort of thing now other than LW.
