Shall I take the lack of comments to mean that:

a) Everyone agrees with my points and thinks that they are obvious or trivial

b) Nobody is interested in this topic

c) TL:DR

d) This post is very general and people are waiting for me to get more specific

e) Nobody knows what heuristic is, so they don't read the post

f) ???

I didn't have any "aha" moments reading this - I felt like I already appreciated that heuristics are indispensible. I wouldn't use terms as strong as "obvious or trivial", but "known to me" would cover it.
