You are arguing against things that aren't being said. Of course there may still be bias in the standardized system; no one proposed that standardized systems remove bias. See the SAT for further details.
If the system is open, then the bias can be found through statistical analysis with experimental data. If the system is closed -- as it must be in human logic -- then the bias can only be discovered through actual outputs after enough runs have accumulated. In this case, that means people's lives are being affected by something that we can't necessarily tell is biased until its too late to prevent it.
So yes, moving to standardized logic is a win against bias, because standardized logic can be opened and analyzed and modified.
