IQ measures the ability to notice and remember patterns, it makes no guarantees about how that ability is used.
Furthermore, just because you're intelligent does not make you immune to bias nor does it make you omniscient. The end result will always be more telling than anything else.
Yep. If that weren't true intelligent people would never change their mind.
Also a good answer to the question about why gays on average have higher IQ.
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you.
Why is bias, based on real world experience, necessarily a bad thing?
It's not, usually.
It's great when making decision rapidly without time for careful decision, as it will help you more often then not.
It's bad when making decision of importance that should be approached logically without emotion. It's not about ignoring your bias, it's about seeing it and testing the bias to make sure it accurately applies.
