Every heuristic involves a bias when you use it in some contexts.

Yes, but does it more often yield a satisfactory solution across many contexts if yes, then I'd label it a useful heuristic and if it is often wrong I would label it a bias.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
