I first read the title as asking which among the biases themselves we should trust in, rather than which lists we should trust in. Would a clarified title be worth the disruption to RSS feeds?

Since this was so highly upvoted, I changed it. Thanks!

It's still misleading now. Did you actually change it? If so, what was it before?

Before it was "which cognitive biases should we trust". Now it is "which cognitive biases should we trust in".

To be very clear, I am interested in

which among the biases themselves we should trust in

that is the second part of the post. This makes me a bit confused as to why DG's comment is upvoted so highly.

More evidence to be hesitant about making judgments on the basis of LW votes.
