Abstract
In this note we investigate fair decision functions, that is symmetric decision functions which satisfy the compromise principle and neglect odd ball opinions. The main purpose of our theory is to prove that a nonconstant decision function is fair if and only if it is a result of a generalized Gauß-type least square method.
