Constant, just because something is part of how humans learn language, does not make it okay. We know that something is arglebargle without knowing what arglebargle is, but, this is not labeled as “a hint about someone else’s mental associations to a word”, it is labeled as knowing that something is arglebargle. That’s the error, right there: a floating, non-anticipation-controlling belief that feels like ordinary knowledge, and is not labeled as a hint about someone else’s word-associations. Just because this is part of how human minds learn language, still doesn’t make it okay. The human mind has a crappy design. That’s what blogs like Overcoming Bias are for.
