I think you're arguing against a straw man. I don't think anyone is
seriously making the study of biases the highest priority of the
community. Yes, it is more important to find a good design for
artificial intelligence, and part of that is understanding biases,
although you seem to disagree with that, in which case I recommend
you allocate an appropriate amount of time to correcting our error.
