Statistical analysis shows that even when peoples' awareness is raised, biases 
continue to exist, not because the people are bad people, but because cognitive 
biases are simply not affected by "consciousness raising" alone.   So IMHO at 
least, what we are looking for here is not consciousness-raising, but some 
method of determining if we are indeed suffering from cognitive biases here, 
and if so, some method for actually addressing the problem.
