> I am not sure about which blindspots you have in mind, though?

Not trying to throw shade, but in my experience people who are confident that they have no bias usually do, often heaps of it, and are just not that much aware of it.

Especially when it comes to 'gut decisions' ('chemical fit'?).

Bias is human and we are all biased in one way or another. Saying that you’re not is a red flag, quite frankly, at least for me.

They didn't say they don't have blindspots. They said they don't control for them. And it makes sense to me. Yes, we have our blind spots but there's no method for finding them, nor is there a guarantee that the information they conceal is any more crucial than the rest.
