Wozzley bias

A form of scientific bias involving systematically ignoring results which would be hard work to discuss in the wider context of the scientific literature.

Steven's new paper has so much Wozzley bias, I cannot believe it was accepted for publication!

Asshole Bias

The tendency to dislike or disapprove of someone’s actions, regardless of their nature, once they’ve been widely deemed an "asshole" by others and their inconsiderate behavior has solidified your personal dislike for them. Even when you recognize that you engage in similar behavior—behavior that isn't inherently rude or malicious—you’ll still feel disproportionate annoyance or anger toward their actions.

"I know I can be a bit loud in public sometimes, but when Sonya raises her voice like that, it triggers my asshole bias—I just can't stand her doing it, even though it's something I’ve done myself."

"I’ll admit, I sometimes text during movies, but when Mark does it, it drives me crazy. His constant texting just sets off my asshole bias"

Laboratory Bias

A systemic flaw where data and phenomena observed in controlled, simplified laboratory conditions fail to accurately represent their behavior in the messy, complex, and interconnected real world. This bias arises because labs deliberately isolate variables and eliminate "noise," which often strips away the very contextual forces that shape outcomes in nature, society, or technology. The lab result is "true" only within its sterile vacuum, creating a potentially dangerous illusion of understanding that cracks under real-world pressures. It's the map that's perfectly accurate for a single, empty room, but useless for navigating a city.

Example: A social psychology study on altruism conducted in a lab with college students playing for token rewards might show people are fairly cooperative. This Laboratory Bias would completely miss how altruism collapses under real-world stresses like economic scarcity, tribal politics, or anonymous online interactions. The lab finding is valid, but its translation to reality is broken.
