Of course. But thinking belongs to the practitioner, the point is that you have to do it and not just study the doing of it.
You acquire a mental model by doing the things that lead to having that mental model, not by reading about the model. Memorizing a taxonomy of cognitive biases doesn't necessarily make you a better thinker, anymore than memorizing design patterns necessarily makes you a better programmer.
