You nailed it. Biases don't necessarily affect the truth of the argument, like in the case that bias causes the person to argue their position more passionate. To simplify this idea, let's say that is true that X exists. If one is biased to believe that X exists, they may rationalize and offer poor reasons for X existing, but their conclusion would be right, regardless of their biases. |
