Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation generally provides cross-platform instructions, with separate command examples for Linux, macOS, and Windows. However, there is evidence of subtle Windows bias: (1) The instruction to extract the sample to a folder with a path length of 260 or fewer characters references a Windows-specific limitation without clarifying that this is not relevant on Linux/macOS; (2) The Windows command examples use 'py' instead of 'python', which is a Windows launcher, and this is presented after Linux/macOS, but the path length warning is not platform-scoped.
Recommendations:
  • Clarify that the 260-character path length limitation applies only to Windows, and is not relevant for Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider providing a brief note about the 'py' launcher being specific to Windows, and that 'python' is the standard command on Linux/macOS.
  • Where platform-specific limitations or tools are mentioned, explicitly scope them to the relevant OS to avoid confusion.
  • Continue to provide parity in command examples for all major platforms, and ensure that any warnings or notes are clearly attributed to the appropriate OS.
