This was a really good viewpoint as it made me realize that the listed things are not only useful mental models but deeply connected to values. These models are used to guide your thinking which will affect your behavior. Therefore it's very important to be careful with what rules-of-thumb you decide to follow. Of course, it's also important to reflect on your thinking and be able to spot the exception that proves the rule. But it's unrealistic to be constantly vigilant about your own analysis of things. You need abstractions (eg. mental models) to be efficient, but leaky abstractions will ruin you.
