Didn't get the job, but it was ok. If I was being primarily judged by how performative I could appear on paper, it was a pretty dubious evaluation. I took a much better job. :)

Completely agree. It seems as if a lot of people here assume that a potential bias statement is the only factor being used to make hiring/funding decisions. I suspect it is has a marginal impact. Further, somehow, people extrapolated this from an addendum to the scientific inquiry method to something that is going to make or break careers.
Anyway, thanks for responding to my question for more information, rather than just downvoting it!
I took it as "have you stopped beating your wife?" e.g. implicitly implying that'd I'd be hiring unfairly - with "fair" defined in a specific fashion having nothing to do with the job tasks.
