It's a little dense and jargon-y.. I feel like I haven't loaded terms in my working memory and so need to re-look them up. But who knows? Maybe it's something trivial like formatting.
Then again, it's late here and I should take another crack when I'm well rested.
Rather than too much jargon, it seemed there were too many vague names given to existing concepts. These seem to be shortcomings of the text's author
I would have more confidence in the author's model if there was a failure mode given for each element of the cognitive model. Unfortunately the chart I created to display the lack of correspondence keeps collapsing when I post it...
The coupling of type 1 and 2 override failures seems weak; a logical failure is not the same as an ethical dispute except in the minds of pure utilitarians.
"Serial Associative Cognition with a Focal Bias, " which I might have referred to as mere "focal bias," might make use of this fun psych experiment {rot13 -spoiler}tbevyyn movie.
Once the next segment of the review comes along, it may be worthwhile to compare wikipedia's list of fallacies and cognitive distortions to do an initial check for completeness.
