"Substance is illusory, only appearance is substantial." It took me a while to put to words what I find objectionable about your view -- it's intellectual laziness masquerading as critical opinion. Rather than grappling with a tough problem, it advocates abandoning the problem completely into some sort of post truth fluff, then dresses that up to pose as wisdom. There's no critical analysis of how bias manifests or the tradeoffs of that bias versus other biases that might be introduced by other sets of circumstances -- there's no meat to that line of thinking. It's intellectual high-fructose corn syrup.
