RI, the point is not in consciously reevaluating the hypotheses to oppose the bias (=reverse stupidity), but in avoiding the wrong conclusion reaching the level of awareness, in repairing the outlook before it misguides intuition. Intuition is relatively blind, but it is the engine of human intelligence. Feed it with misinterpreted information, and it will turn out gibberish. You can’t convert gibberish into sensible output, and you can’t make the engine produce correct output by hacking it with a hammer. You need to feed it quality fuel.
