Most of the effects claimed don’t exist (far more for repeatedly replicated experiments done by independent groups), and the effects that do exist are mostly greatly exaggerated in their effect sizes and generalizability. That is also true of heuristics and biases.
Do you mean this in the trivial sense, or are you making a stronger claim against the heuristics and biases literature?
This sense. I don’t think the heuristics and biases literature is among the worst psychological subfields in terms of quality. I don’t think it is the best.
