There is a crowd-sourced check with the responses which automatically filters out "bad" questions. So this approach makes the question of 'bias' irrelevant. However, one might gain new insight into how some process works which may uncover some long-standing conceptual bias.
Still.. garbage in, garbage out - you need people experienced with the subject matter to offer the most relevant questions. Would be interesting to see if an instruction manual could be created using a similar method. For example, if the person follows a set of "questions" they would be led to an "answer".
Haha yeh I see what you mean.
