A weird and not quite applicable expression, yet still not inconsistent with what I said.
You don't have to have a distorted view of reality to be in favor of something, nor to proselytise it.
You don't have to have a distorted view of reality to present a distorted view to others either.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoI agree that you don't have to have a distorted view of reality to present one, and that would be bias. My understanding and take is that bias is basically synonymous with error, either explicit or by omission. Claiming that a conclusion is biased is the same as it is wrong or incomplete. My question is rather can someone be biased and correct? If I'm paid to advocate for something, does that mean that everything I say is biased, and therefore incorrect?
- Brian_K_White 4y ago"My understanding and take is that bias is basically synonymous with erro" I wouldn't say that. I would only say that the veracity and completeness of the presentation is unknown, but what is known is that there is some reason to question and corroborate it beyond the universal baseline reason to question everything.
