Yes, heuristic means a method to estimate things without too much effort.
”If I were properly calibrated then [...] correct choice 50% of the time.” points out that if lsusr was correct to be undecided about something, then it should be the case that both options were roughly equally good, so there should be a 50% chance that the first or second is the best. If that were the case, we could say that he is calibrated, like a measurement device that has been adjusted to give results as close to reality as possible.
”I didn’t lose the signal. I had just recalibrated myself.” means that lsusr has not lost the fear “signal”, but has adjusted the perception of fear to only occur when it is more appropriate (such as jumping off buildings). In that sense lsusr’s fear occurs at the right time, it is better calibrated.
