I'd still deny this. You need the right (wrong) fallacies to jump to those conclusions. Maybe the fallacies are easy to invent, or maybe our civilization ubiquitously primes people with them, but it still takes an extra and mistaken step.

I think Eliezer is claiming that human psychology does not lead to those conclusions; culturally transmitted errors are required.
