It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Just because it can be taken advantage of doesn't make it a bug. There are reasons these features developed, they were/are evolutionary advantageous. Things like bias are important because they help make us more efficient. They create blind spots, but they also allow us to more wisely spend our limited processing power. We have to compartmentalize things to understand them, we have very limited capacities. We have to do mental rounding in order to make sense of the world around us, there's simply too much information.
