Art: You wrote: " I perceive that my use of "bias" is not shared by many
on the net."

I take it, usually, to be a pejorative. I checked the dictionary which
confirms that is the "usual" case. I can see where it might not
necessarily be used that way.

When two persons disagree -- it is usually because they define some
terms differently. (Bacon). This seems to be one of those times.

"The most pernicious kind of bias consists in falsely supposing yourself
to have none." Walter Moberly.

I think we would agree that Walter had it fairly correct.

Apologies.
