Arbitrary and Bias are not defined properties in formal logic. The bare assertion that they are properties of rationality assumes the conclusion.
Keep in mind that “rationality” has a multitude of meanings, and this community’s usage of rationality is idiosyncratic.
Non contradictoriness probably isn’t a sufficient condition for truth.
Sure, but the discussion is partially a search for other criteria to evaluate of the truth of moral propositions. Arbitrary is not such a criteria. If you were to taboo arbitrary, I strongly suspect you’d find moral propositions that are inconsistent with being values-neutral.

There’s plenty of material on this site and elsewhere advising rationalists to avoid arbitrariness and bias. Arbitrariness and bias are essentially structural/functional properties, so I do not see why they could not be given formal definitions.

Arbitrary and biased claims are not candidates for being ethical claims at all.
And they’ree built into rationality.
