Framework Bias

A more subtle form of bias where the very structure or "rules of the game" for a debate or investigation are set up to favor a predetermined outcome. It’s not about the evidence itself, but the container you’re forced to put it in. By defining what counts as "valid proof" or "acceptable methodology," you can exclude any evidence that threatens your position before the discussion even begins. It’s rigging the game by controlling the rulebook.
Example: "The debate on economic policy suffered from Framework Bias because they defined 'success' only as GDP growth, completely ignoring environmental or social well-being."
