Who returned LHOs library books on Oct 3rd 1963?

[Charles Collins]

It’s called common sense, not bias

It's biased common sense
There's no universal 'common' sense

Crack open a dictionary, people

From The Oxford Dictionary:

com·mon sense
/ˌkämən ˈsens/
noun
good sense and sound judgment in practical matters.
"a common-sense approach"

Sorry Bill, but I don’t see anything about it being biased.

[Charles Collins]

That's what everyone calls his own unsubstantiated, biased conjecture.

And "credible" is used to disregard data that doesn't fit into one's unsubstantiated, biased conjecture.  Like the surveillance photos of other men, and the imposter phone calls that the CIA recorded.

There's nothing we actually know that makes this "extremely unlikely".  The info from the library just says "return date".

Perhaps if they came up with better evidence than "common sense"...

That's what everyone calls his own unsubstantiated, biased conjecture.

Definition (FYI):

com·mon sense

noun

"a common-sense approach"

Definition (FYI):

cred·i·ble
/ˈkredəb(ə)l/
 
adjective: credible
able to be believed; convincing.
"few people found his story credible”

Who knows?  What difference does it make that no one can verify five decades after the fact who took some library books back?

What difference does it make that no one can verify five decades after the fact who killed JFK?

Sorry Bill, but I don’t see anything about it being biased.

The bias lies in labeling your own conjecture "common sense".

adjective: credible
able to be believed; convincing.
"few people found his story credible”

Convincing to whom though?  Bias influences whether or how you find something convincing.  For example, some people here find Donald Trump to be a credible president.

Not for any good reason though.

Although I agree with your posted definitions of common sense to a degree, they are merely scraping the surface. A deeper investigation in regards the logic of the term is necessary.

I looked the term up a couple of years ago. I don't think I've used it myself since that time, and cringe a bit when others use it. I fall into the 'whatever that means' camp.

I find the following a fascinating study of the subject:

EDIT: 6:08pm EST
Additionally, I doubt whether the term would be allowed in formal debate

Bias can influence it, but not necessarily.
