Abstract
The bias invariant has been used to distinguish between the homotopy types of 2-complexes. In this note we show that two finite, connected 2-complexes X and Y with isomorphic fundamental groups and the same Euler characteristic have the same bias invariant if and only if there is a map f: X -> Y which is a homology equivalence (w,/ and H2f are isomorphisms).
