Confirmation Bias - The tendency to favor information that confirms one's beliefs or hypothesis and to ignore information that disagrees with one's point of view.
Fallacy of composition - Assuming something true of part of the whole must also be true of the whole.
Fallacy of Single Cause - assuming there is one single cause of an outcome when in reality it may have been caused by a number of other jointly sufficient causes.
And my personal favorite...
Mind Projection Fallacy - when one considers the way one sees the world as the way the world really is...
Don't worry Engie, many dogs suffer from this too...

This is pretty much every message board poster ever.
But yes, there are a certain number of elite posters on this board who are particularly prone to confirmation bias.
