You didn't say why just remembering biases and heuristics would be all that useful.

I see. Well, I can see that any future writings I submit anywhere will have to flesh that element out then. I had assumed the positive utility of easier recall ability for those categories of items would be obvious.

I didn't say it wasn't obvious. I was meaning that it seemed like you tacked it on the end to superficially validate mnemotechnics by using LW "buzz words".

I can definitively tell you that this impression is not valid. If I had meant to target the jargon/patois of the LessWrong community, it would have been obvious.

I included the ease of recollection of pre-developed heuristics and known cognitive biases as an example of how optimization approaches can be convergent. This was the sum of my intent.
