Don't bias my cogs, man.  They barely grind along as it is.

There's some excellent basics in this very application oriented
presentation, relevant for anyone who is trying to figure out WTF is
going on based on partial and manipulated information:

Psychology of Intelligence Analysis, Richards J. Heuer, Jr.

Just got done having a brief exchange elsewhere with a fellow whose
superior Authority on matters biochemical was his claimed credentials
as a Psychologist.  He was posting links to very crudely written
propaganda pieces in support of his indefensible position, so I pulled
a few quotes and pointed out that the authors were eliciting and
exploiting common cognitive biases to sell the said proposition in the
absence of evidence.  "If you are a psychologist why didn't you see
that?"

Small world I guess.
