Y'know, there are all sorts of counterexamples to this ... but I think its still a bad sign, if not a definitive one, on the basis that if I had been more suspicious of things I was talking myself into I would have had a definite net benefit to my life. (Not counting times I was neurohacking myself, admittedly, but that's not really the same.)
Yes, there's an unfortunate tendency among some "rationalist" types to dismiss heuristics because they don't apply in every situation.
