The kino-eye, being a lens that may only capture what is in front of it and no more, may capture reality with no sense of bias; however, I say it is no better than the human eye, as lenses may be subject to the same impurities as the eye. Much as eyes may develop cataracts, the lens may be tainted by a scratch or impurity in the glass. This subjects the kino-eye to the same misfortunes as the human eye if proper care is not taken of it.
And while the kino-eye captures images free of bias, it is subject to the bias of the filmmaker. If you manipulate what the viewer will be viewing so as to guide their eye, the whole reality is still not being presented to the viewer; however, new perspectives may be brought to life that the viewer would not have seen before (if the viewer were to view the actual spaces filmed with their own eyes). Either way it is viewed (with the human eye or the kino-eye), the space viewed would have to be viewed with bias, as what the kino-eye has captured would have to be viewed with the bias of the human eye, much as if the eye were viewing the space itself.
