Generations of psychologists have studied how people's preferences influence their interpretations of their perceptions. Lawyers, judges, and the law have long assumed

that desires and interests can influence the beliefs of witnesses (and of jurors and judges) and the inferences that witnesses draw from their perceptions. (Witnesses are called

to court to report their beliefs, or their inferences, not their raw sensations or perceptions. No human being is able to recount his or her raw sensations or perceptions.)

The law of evidence calls the corrupting influence of interest and desire "bias." (Every person is "biased" in one way or another. )
