That’s quite a sensitive test, though. I’m trying to make my views unbiased. If I succeed, someone who still exhibits a greater amount of bias will either disagree with me, or I’ll disagree with their reasoning.
Well, you might have different priors, leading to different posterior beliefs from the same data; or you might have different values, leading to different decisions or policy prescriptions from the same descriptive beliefs.
(One might expect that a person raised in a large close-knit extended working-class immigrant family might have different values regarding economics than a person raised in a small individualistic nuclear middle-class ethnic-majority family, for instance.)
Note that I said someone who is more biased in an arena will disagree with me, not that someone who disagreed with me in an arena was exhibiting more bias.
