He never flew them in combat so his opinion was based on how they performed and how they handled. The Ju 87 is famous for its excellent handling and it's stability in a dive, which also contributed a lot to its accuracy.It is clear that Brown was heavily biased against the Corsair but he displayed the same bias against other AC also. For instance he rates the JU87 above the SBD which he says is tied with the Val. Given the supposed good survivability of the SBD and it's combat record, that seems implausible.
I think that is "bias" you are talking about is rather his fair opinion, based on the criteria he could actually witness.
