I found this an interesting read

I'm guilty of several of these, what do you think about them?

I am guilty of many if not ALL of these at one time or another. Further there are several that I am likely guilty of regularly. I think this is a wonderful tool for self evaluation. Frankly I doubt its possible to be human and not be guilty of some of these your entire life. Our brain filters things in particular ways and we can try to be aware of it and train it away but I doubt it can ever be totally stopped.

Number 12 should be altered to include people who think they are experts.

I think it is possible to train yourself to recognise when you are doing some of them, since studying group behaviour in my degree I've become much more aware of how people I interact with and even myself are biased along group lines.

It won't let me have a blank signature ...

Blades are very similar to fallacies. I believe there was a thread on them at one point :D fallacies and blades are very amazing :)
