I have no interest in playing but-what-does-the-exact-dictionary-definition-say semantics games.
- jdp23 10y agoThe funny thing is that the dictionary definition supports your point, not yummyfajitas. bias: prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.
- belorn 10y agoIf you are going to argue a single dictionary definition, you should immediately stop holding a mouse when using a computer. Rodents don't like being held for long times, be connected electrically to a machine, nor do they like being rubbed on a pad.
- zyxley 10y agoI think the obvious answer here is to genetically engineer a "computer mouse" that can mentally work complex algorithms, as supplied via a pet training clicker. Then, you'll be able to click your computer mouse to solve problems.

That's certainly reasonable, but actually you're responding to a statistical argument about a statistical study, made by a statistician. It would seem tendentious to argue that these numbers are unconnected to systemic social bias, but he is not making such an argument.
