Bias is a statistical term for a systematic tendency for the observed (or recorded) numbers to be consistently larger than (or consistently smaller than) their true value. This could happen, for example, if the measuring instrument is not properly zeroed. Or if the values are always rounded up (or always down). Or you consistently give the benefit of the doubt (or are inflexibly rigid).
