You're not harnessing your biases, you're harnessing your pride. So do I, in various ways.
In all frankness... I would have voted up your post except for the title. I'm fatigued of such clevernesses.
Yes... 'bias' is normative; at least, that's how we treat it here. Suggesting that a bias could be positive is inconsistent - better might be to say "maybe this isn't a bias after all".
