Because depending on the origin of the historian, he may have a prerequisite feelings towards a culture or a nation. For example, consider Hitler. For many, he was a dictator but for a German Historian (who is loyal to Germany and lived while Hitler was in charge), he may have been a war hero. This is why Historians should watch out for personal biases because it can alter how histories are recorded and told.
One weakness of this is that historians may not even know that he(she) is biased while he(she) is writing and therefore, may creates "random biases" which may or may not affect to the historical picture one wishes to depict.
