Sources of biasSources of biasPosted Mar 7, 2013 12:41 UTC (Thu) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091)In reply to: Thanks for making my argument by paulj Parent article: Canonical reveals plans to launch Mir display server (The H) In-group bias is another well-researched source of bias, that probably can be traced back all the way to primate groups. This is important not because it is more primitive, on the contrary: it is much more subconscious and entrenched than other, more cultural (you could say "human") biases. We want our group / tribe / company to thrive not because we will be better off, but because we are the best.

Yeah, I must have put it clumsily. My point was that lack of information is one obvious source of bias. But even when we have full information, we *still* have a definite tendency to be biased toward group members - even if subconsciously, as per your link.
