Thinking Fast and Slow is actually pretty flawed as well. See https://retractionwatch.com/2017/02/20/placed-much-faith-und... and e.g. The Bias Bias in Behavioral Economics paper by Gigerenzer. It turns out quite a lot of these "biases" are actually quite useful and effective in the real world.

I just downloaded the paper by Gigerenzer [1]. Heard him referenced a bunch of times by Rory Sutherland and Taleb. Thanks.
