The paragraph in question doesn't talk about a cognitive bias. It talks about how the feeling of a model not matching a story is too weak.


Evolution didn't design us. As such the phrase "design flaw" isn't meant to be taking 100% literally. For the purpose that Eliezer uses the word in that context being supoptimal for our times is enough.
