What's the name for the bias whereby someone reads this list once or twice and then thinks they are immune to cognitive biases? ;-)

It's one thing to read a list of biases, and another to recognize biases in the field. I've been studying biases for years, and still occasionally fail to recognize them when they are staring me in the face.

How do you practice?
