Probably the latter. I’m reading through links from the links from the links of what you linked to, perhaps you could list all the biases you could use help on? I think my Arieli Lindt/Hersheys solution of imposing a self penalty whenever accepting free things was a clever way of debiasing that bias (though I would think so, wouldn’t I?) and in the course of reading through all kinds of these articles (in a topic I am interested in) I could provide similar things.
I really do go through a lot of this stuff independently, I had read the Bullock paper and Kahneman interview before you asked for help and only after you asked did I know I had information you wanted.
In any case my above comment was probably downvoted for it being perceived as posturing rather than because it isn’t a common concern. That interpretation best explains my getting downvoted for raising the issue and you being downvoted for not taking it maximally seriously.
Uh.… was I downvoted for replying with helpful links to a comment that was already below the 0 thresshold?
Or perhaps I was downvoted for not including racism as a cognitive bias on my developing table of biases?
My guess is that it smacked a bit too much of LMGTFY.
