Except that what they mean by "bias" is much closer to what LW means by "priors" than what we mean by "bias".
That's a great point.
(Also, by "overcoming" they often mean "replacing with our priors", which are full of zeroes and ones.)
Well, they're rhetoric argues we should completely eliminate priors. Since that's impossible (in fact incoherent) in practice they wind up making an exception for priors that look as little like priors as possible.
