I think their biases would have worse consequences if their goal was following some intuitive gut feeling of justice rather than having a goal of applying the law even when the law is known to be imperfect. That is, the less explicit the rules are, the more wiggle room there is for bias to act.

I'm not so sure, I feel the civil law system followed in continental Europe works much better as it's based on the spirit of the law instead of the exact letter and comma. Hard to say if this would be a better fit for the US though -- I've no idea if that's causing issues elsewhere in more corrupt societies or not.
