I guess I don't think that at all.
Losty,
It may be thought that if a person is unbiased they are being rational.

There are so many forms of love, it's an entire rainbow of emotion unto itself.
It makes life bearable, shedding rays of joy into our sometimes-shaded lives.
Just want to leave this here:

Losty,
Do you think you can prove there is no percentage of beauty ?
You made the claim. Lay out your metrics -- how you measure such percentages -- and then demonstrate that most others hold the same metrics as you.

It may also be thought that rational people have biases too, and that they go the extra length to obviate them ... a process you seem to have skipped.

Love. I thought I knew what it was when I had those first feelings of butterflies in my stomach for a boy that I liked in high school. No... that wasn't it at all.
Pure love - raw love - unconditional love for me - for the very first time was when I got to see my oldest for the first time. She was three hours old. Born via emergency C-section, I was put under very quickly. When I came out of recovery, they wheeled me down to the NICU to see her. She was so tiny, so fragile but I fell instantly in love. I knew then, what love was. I can't explain it, but I feel like my heart suddenly grew bigger. I could not stop looking at my daughter. She was two days old when I finally got to hold her and wow! What a feeling it was... it was like a rush of adrenaline. To be that much in love like that... it's the best feeling in the world, if you ask me.
It happened a second time when my other daughter was born. A love like this is a love like no other. This is what I hold on to. This is what I cherish most.

Thumpalumpacus,
If you think I made the claim, which words precisely may you think show that I did ?

Thumpalumpacus,
If you think that I wasn't thinking that people have the potential to be bias or unbias, rational or irrational at different times, which words precisely may you think show that ?
