High-bias, meaning it is opinionated from author's own perspective.

Low-variance, I think the author means to have a sharp and quality focus on the subjects he/she is going to talk about.

Almost agree to what you said. Just a piece of more context: the 1st author wrote about connection between physics's Renormalization Group and Deep learning which was featured in [1] 4 years ago.

Seems the most plausible explanation to me, so far.
