I am fond of your explanation on "bias" (I've read it a couple of
times now).  Would you consider writing it up somewhere?  There are so
many common misconceptions around this topic that such a document
would be a valuable resource.  I saw the term again earlier today in
some of Stein's papers (Estimation with Quadratic Loss and Estimation
of the Mean of a Multivariate Normal Distribution), and was reminded
of this thread.
