This is a slippery slope. Because you'll end up touching that value until you're happy with the result. It makes that stat totally useless.

I use different metrics to analyze engagement in blogs (like frequency, time on page, etc) and use the standard Bounce Rate to measure how likely is for people to go see more posts, or the "about me" page. If you have a 25% of people going to check out more of your work or who you are, I think it's a hell of a good thing, even if that gives you a 75% bounce rate.
