Conclusion: No. 

Reasoning.

1. Definitions.

   1. Predisposition: Tendency to act in a certain way.
   2. Bias: A predisposition that leads to unfairness, distortion, or systematic error.
   3. Warranted: Justified by good reasons or evidence.

2. A bias is typically a warrantless or unjustified predisposition—something that distorts thinking, judgment, or decision-making.

3. But if a predisposition is based on solid evidence, reasoning, or experience, it’s better described as a justified belief.

4. A justified belief is worthwhile. Example: A doctor is predisposed to test for malaria in patients returning from sub-Saharan Africa because malaria is common there. This is not a bias—it’s a justified belief.

5. Summary: A warranted predisposition is not a bias. Bias implies error or unfairness. A justified predisposition is typically a strength—an efficient guide to action based on evidence.
