What types of problems do you expect this heuristic to be successful with? If the problem is something like improvizing jazz, it will fail miserably.
If it's easy to judge that a given heuristic fails for a certain problem, then heuristic is not at fault: it can be easily seen to not apply there, and so won't introduce bias in that situation. The trouble lies where you think the heuristic applies but it doesn't.
