As I explain in my post about the #BiasFallacy (https://byrdnick.com/archives/11072/the-bias-fallacy), Tom shows how #bias can be a good thing.
My example of good bias was ignoring irrelevant variables in #science to avoid spurious or misleading correlations.
Tom’s examples are probable better: fire alarms and #signalDetectionTheory. Worth a read!
