I'm gonna assume you're taking a hard science approach to bias, then:
It is statistically non-plausible to observe all facts in the universe, so the facts you can observe suffer from the selection bias fact sampling error.
Bias is required in any useful model of the universe to explain the difference between the expected and the observed.
Even assuming a non-plausible, accurate model with no biases whatsoever, such model is very likely to require high variance to encompass all fact observations and models with too much variance are useless.
- tracker1 3y agoSo the observed never happened? If the observed was recorded from many angles, did it happen then?
- ElectricalUnion 3y agoThe observed happened. Definitely happened. However, you don't need "many angles". Those are too few. You need all the angles. Reaching conclusions without observing all the interactions, from all angles, in the entirety of the universe existence is, by definition, biased, so, almost all conclusions reached before the universe ends are biased.
- tracker1 3y agoWould it be fair to say, you can absolutely minimize bias... at least in terms of reporting news?
