Surely it would be better to concentrate on the existing sources of bias, e.g. the judges? This would presumably carry over to their other duties.

Perhaps this model could be used to generate a set of rules that were clear and less open to interpretation by judges, and in that way it could be valuable.

How are we going to eliminate the human bias of judges?
