DETECTED
Omission bias
The omission bias is an alleged type of cognitive bias. It is the
tendency to judge harmful actions as worse, or less moral than
equally harmful omissions (inactions) because actions are
more obvious than inactions. It is contentious as to whether
this represents a systematic error in thinking, or is supported
by a substantive moral theory. For a consequentialist, judging
harmful actions as worse than inaction would indeed be
inconsistent, but deontological ethics may, and normally does,
draw a moral distinction between doing and allowing.[1] The
bias is usually showcased through the trolley problem.
