No, as far as I know, they don’t use the phrase “evolved mental behaviour”, but I didn’t say they did, only that they believe in such things. That they do is evident here:
“From its earliest days, the research that Tversky and I conducted was guided
by the idea that intuitive judgments occupy a position – perhaps corresponding
to evolutionary history – between the automatic operations of perception
and the deliberate operations of reasoning.”
Read the wording closely. To me it indicates they don’t have a good explanation for these heuristics, or, if they do have an explanation, it is vague so that it is consistent with both evolved and not-evolved. But they don’t have a problem with evolved. I also gave you other arguments in my comments to you in our other discussion.
Why are you continuing this when you’ve already sarcastically told me to go away?
Edit: This wikipedia page says “Cognitive biases are instances of evolved mental behavior”: Do you think that is an accurate description of what cognitive biases are supposed to be? Is there any controversy about whether they are evolved or not?
