All Monte Carlo results contain Monte Carlo error.  Using the biased 
function will have some additional error, but for almost all 
simulations, it will be negligible compared to the Monte Carlo error.  I 
suspect the only simulations where the bias was anywhere near the same 
order of magnitude as the Monte Carlo error would be ones designed with 
this specific code in mind.
