I believe that knowledge of cognitive biases is useful for identifying flaws in one's own thinking, but I can't say I've seen it used very productively in argument. Especially for the type who is more of the "learn it and sling it" fact-thrower with more knowledge than understanding. It becomes harder to talk to those people because they're convinced they have your psyche all figured out, no matter what logic you employ.
