Bias baiting 

When someone is trying to push their opinion on you or get validation for their judgments. Generally people who are very gossipy are bias baiters.

Isn’t it a shame that they got a breeder dog than a rescue? Stop bias baiting (or stop being a bias baiter!)

Bias Blind Spot

The ingrained inability to perceive the influence of your own cognitive biases on your judgments, while being acutely aware of how biases distort everyone else's thinking. You understand that confirmation bias makes your uncle's news feed a conspiracy theory echo chamber, but you'd never entertain the idea that your own curated feed creates a progressive or libertarian echo chamber just as potent. Your biases are "critical thinking"; other people's biases are "brainwashing."

Example: "She could write a dissertation on the availability bias skewing public fear of plane crashes, but couldn't see how the same bias made her irrationally terrified of moving to a new city after binge-watching crime dramas. Her bias blind spot was so total, she diagnosed cognitive distortions in others as a hobby while living in a glass house of her own."

Bias of Controlled Bias

A meta-problem in experimental design where the researchers' attempts to eliminate one form of bias (e.g., selection bias) unintentionally introduce another, often by creating control groups or conditions that are artificially sterile, non-representative, or so constrained they don't reflect real-world complexity. The study becomes a perfectly controlled test of an irrelevant scenario.

Example: A psychology study on stress uses a "controlled" lab stressor (like a timed puzzle) to eliminate life-history variables. But this Bias of Controlled Bias means the results only apply to acute, performance-based stress in weird lab settings, not to the chronic, social, and economic stressors that define real-world mental health.

Bias of Everything

The paralyzing, often disingenuous, insistence that because all perspectives are inherently biased (by culture, experience, etc.), no perspective can claim superior footing for understanding reality. This "meta-bias" is used to create false equivalence, arguing that since a historian and a conspiracy theorist both have biases, their claims deserve equal weight. It mistakes the universal condition of situatedness for the negation of rigor, evidence, or truth-seeking.

Example: In a climate debate, someone dismisses the IPCC's decades of peer-reviewed research by saying, "Your scientists are biased by grant money. My oil-funded blogger is biased too. It's all just bias. Nobody can know." The bias of everything argument is a thought-terminating cliché that elevates skeptical parity over the vast differentials in evidence, methodology, and reliability.
