To swing this, you'd probably need quite a large amount of AFD closure
data demonstrating (preferably inarguable) bias. Ideally, you'd need
to show that it was inherent to the process, rather than because of a
few individuals not sufficiently checking their biases at the door.

(this is evaluating your arguments, rather than an opinion on whether
what they argue for is good or not)
