Cognitive bias in article

There appears to be a cognitive bias to me in the first statement made in this article. It claims cognitive bias is a systematic deviation from norm, when on the contrary it is often the norm to be cognitively biased and most people are shown to be irrational in a lot of cases. https://eujap.uniri.hr/rationality-in-mental-disorders-too-little-or-too-much/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S136466132100125X Kuzmanovic, B.; Rigoux, L.; Vogeley, K. (2014-01-14). "Brief Report: Reduced Optimism Bias in Self-Referential Belief Updating in High-Functioning Autism". Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders. 49 (7): 2990–2998. doi:10.1007/s10803-016-2940-0. PMID 27757736. S2CID 254571982.

I'd therefore put it that cognitive bias is not a deviation from norm as the norm is to have cognitive bias and is not a deviation from rationality as people that are more irrational are the ones more prone to having cognitive bias, rather than people strongly suggested to have enhanced rationality. I have put this here as I am not sure how to amend the article, if indeed it even needs to be amended. My thoughts may be considered to be original thought and therefore Wikipedia biased against including this in articles. aspaa (talk) 07:58, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
