If some of the heuristics are failing and some are succeeding, they are producing different results. Which process determines which results are correct? Should this be called “philosophical ability”?
It doesn’t necessarily have to be cenralized. Some heuristics could have different weights than others, and stronger ones win out. Or there could be a reflective equilibrium among them.
The opposite explanation also works: we use so many unrelated heuristics that there’s no single area where they all fail simultaneously.

...not that there’s any evidence for any of this.
