What about this kind of bias: every experimental result can be attributed to some kind of bias. And bias is a hot topic, especially given the ascendence of progressive politics in academia and beyond. So there is a strong motivation for experimenters to explain any experimental result in terms of bias, rather than other reasons.


You seem quite biased about the bias toward bias.


Why do I seem biased to you? I don't think it's useful to conflate bias and having a strong opinion, even if strong opinions often result from bias.
