A bias means you have twisted the facts, or presented an inaccurate picture of reality. A viewpoint means you have an opinion.
The reason they have different connotations is because twisting the facts is considered bad and having an opinion is not.
- wpietri 10y agoI agree 100% on bias. But I think "viewpoint" is even broader/softer than "opinion". As somebody born and raised in America, I have an American viewpoint. As somebody who's been writing code for a long time, I'll always have the viewpoint of a programmer. You can't escape who you are. But as you say, that doesn't mean you have to twist the facts.
