The main point of these ideas is to be able to demonstrate that a classifying algorithm - which is often nothing more than a messy black box - is not biased. This is often something companies want to demonstrate, and may become a legal requirement in some places. The above seems a reasonable definition of non-bias that could be used quite easily.
