Haven't many of the fast/slow thinking claims, as popularized by the best-selling Daniel Kahneman's book, been debunked?

Sounds like great fodder for a just as informative reply.

The irony is I am pretty sure you believe this because of some kind of heuristic, but I am not sure what that heuristic would be called.
Priming has issues with repeatability in experiments.
To believe that "debunks" the entirety of heuristics and bias is completely absurd.
I think that book sucks personally. Just an incredibly dull book to read. The online social contagion that it is a work of fiction might actually be more interesting.

Maybe we could call it the "if a book bases it claims by citing a few papers, and those specific papers turn out to be bogus, then its claims are unsubstantiated" heuristic
