This reinforces my prejudice that a lot of the literature on how misleading the literature is, is itself among the best examples of how misleading the literature is.

A lot of the literature on cognitive biases is itself among the best examples of how biased people are (though unfortunately not usually in ways that would prove their point, with the obvious exception of confirmation bias).

Seems like both teaching about biases and learning about biases is dangerous.
