Overview

We all have read endless repeats of that same old ""flaws in thought"" or ""cognitive biases"" like ""affirmation bias"". Most of these come from social psych where very very narrow people ""research"" such biases in classes of college psych students. This research setting makes nearly all published on these ""heuristics"" false and exaggerated. THIS BOOK fixes that--it undoes distortions for ""upping our publishing numbers"" for faculty promotion. THE CRUX is CONTEXT. Each ""flaw"" is a virtue in some unmentioned normal practical context of use, unmentioned and un-researched in academia, making each FLAW seem harmful in general. Take ""affirmation bias"" when you move from classes of college students to real folks in corporations doing work you lfind AMBIGUITY stymies needed action and hence mental habits that REDUCE AMBIGUITY move you to action fast enough to help. Academics do not notice this or research it THIS book does. It sees both the good and bad of each flaw by expanding contexts into real world practice.
