[QUOTE="85Escape, post: 488993, member: 3560"] Right, and lack of malice doesn't suggest that there isn't bias. We all see what we want to see, and I do believe in the Michael Jordan effect (where stars are 'supposed' to be really good, so when a ref sees something that could have been a foul...say palming the ball...by the star they assume that it wasn't because MJ is just that good.) Also, the rest of Hanlon's Razor is that you can't rule out malice, you just shouldn't start with that assumption as a default attribution. [/QUOTE]
