i’m not sure what you mean, biases aren’t true or false they’re a thumb on the scale. we know what we look like, we would instantly recognize something that looks like we do but that’s separate from how likely it is for something else to look like earth life or whether there’s anything to find at all.
As I explained, the more likely thing to look for is certain kinds of dissimilarity. Not a phone, but something living off rocks. The bias is reversed from what is probable.
