I found a reliable criterion to be "Does this person have a consistent eye line?", i.e. do their eyes indicate they are focusing roughly at the camera distance.

I found a reliable criterion to be "Does this person have a consistent eye line?", i.e. do their eyes indicate they are focusing roughly at the camera distance. I would assume that that is a bias of the "real" photographs, because who would keep a picture where the subject doesn't look at the camera.

Anyone shooting candids; even lots of portraits have the subject looking off into the distance or somewhere else other than at the camera. I mean, sure, if your are shooting for a photo ID, you won't keep a shot that isn't directly looking at the camera, but... (Which isn't to say it's not a real bias in genuine photos, just not as absolute as you seem to suggest it should be expected to be.)
