So, bias is interesting, but I think the presenter in the OP is getting at something much more fundamental than bias.
To summarize, there will always be true statements that cannot be proven because math is (1) incomplete, (2) undecideable, and (3) questionably consistent. It's Godel's incompleteness theorem. It's Alan Turing's "halting problem." So we are way beyond bias, I think.
The presenter claims that lots of systems of everyday life are undecideable, including ordinary daily things such as the game "Magic: the Gathering" or airline ticketing systems. So I think this partly means chaotic and unpredictable results can emerge without warning.
Are there aspects of car technology that are or may similarly be effected by undecideability, incompleteness, and inconsistency in the underlying math?
If the idea of a limit in calculus is "poorly defined" and there are different infinities in real and natural numbers and aspects of particle movements in quantum mechanics will always be incompletely described, what does it matter for automobile tech., either in thermodynamics or electronics or aerodynamics? Does it matter in any practical ways with existing vehicles, say for understanding breakdowns or repairs that sometimes seem like ghost in the machine event?
I guess I am just wondering why sometimes when something breaks there seems to be no explanation and why sometimes when I fix it, there seems no explanation. lol
