Cesario claims that all bias research tells us is that people "end up using the information they have come to learn as being probabilistically accurate in their daily lives" (sect. 5, para. 4). We expose Cesario's flawed assumptions about the relationship between accuracy and bias. Through statistical simulations and empirical work, we show that even probabilistically accurate responses are regularly accompanied by bias.
