The list is about tall men. Excluding short men from it
hardly seems
like bias. It's like complaining that a list of the world's tallest
trees doesn't have any representatives from Saudi Arabia on it; it's not
bias because Saudia Arabia simply doesn't have any really tall trees in
it (I'm assuming for purposes of argument, anyway).
No, you miss the point. A notably tall Arabian tree would be much
shorter than a notably tall Dutch tree, but still notably tall for an
Arabian tree.
