It's not prejudice to reach a conclusion after considering the available
information. It's called judgement. Prejudice is when one ignores (or
fails to seek or give proper weight to) information that conflicts with
a pre-existing or desired belief.

I've considered things as honestly as I am able to and have come to a
conclusion about them. Should other plausible possibilities come to
light, I'll reconsider.
