> truth itself is a bias

Ehh, bias connotes unfairness, but espousing the truth should be considered the fairest position.

In statistics, bias literally refers to an inaccurate distortion of results.

I get what you're trying to say, but I don't think it's a useful definition of bias.

Truth isn't fair because reality isn't fair. Dice are considered "biased" if not all sides have equal probability, even though that's the "truth" of the die.
