Given a biased corpus, de-biasing is the process of ensuring a less biased outcome. We can measure bias fairly well, so it seems absurd to conflate the two by suggesting that unbiased behaviour is simply another form of biased behaviour. For all practical purposes, there is a difference.

The point is that people who evaluate what is considered bias are, in and of themselves, introducing bias.

Really? What's the absolute standard that you are measuring that bias against?
