The key problem is that this is a process metric and not an outcome metric. With rationality we do care about outcome and it’s not clear that the process metric actually relates to them.
With cognitive bias training there’s the risk that it just makes it easier to rationalize whatever you want to believe for other reasons. As far as I understand, CFAR did experiment in the beginning about teaching cognitive biases and then decided against it because they believed it wouldn’t actually help with what they are trying to accomplish.
From academia we also don’t seem to have studies that show that you can improve people’s real decision making by teaching them ccognitive biases.
