College education ain’t what it used to be :-D but reasonably smart people should be suspicious of your article because you’re triggering a LOT of bullshit detectors.
The most blatant is your use of the word “science” as the functional equivalent of “revealed Truth”. Believe this because science. Um...
Also, passages like “It felt wonderful and liberating to be deeply certain that we could not have done better than we did through applying the principles of probabilistic thinking and other rationality-informed strategies” are pretty cringeworthy.

FYI, I edited the article based on your comments with adding qualifiers and added the title suggested by NancyLebovitz
Thanks for the specific feedback about the sentence, I’ll work on revising it.
Regarding science, I’ll put in some qualifiers on that, good point!
Ideas on improving the title?
Improve Your Thinking with Science-Based Methods.
Thanks, nice idea! I edited the article based on your comments.
