A prejudicial statement is a preconceived idea or conviction that judges without all of the facts, usually said to be in favor to support their beliefs or ideas. Prejudicial rhetorical device is the act of not hiding a slanted view by definitions by example. This can be explained by grouping people into certain cultural, political, and religious backgrounds and using that as advantage to persuade a viewpoint.

The terms "prejudicial" and "nonprejudicial" are not commonly used to describe devices. However, if we interpret these terms in a general context, we can refer to devices or methods that can either encourage bias or maintain impartiality in a given situation.

1. Prejudicial Device: A prejudicial device is something that may introduce bias or unfairness into a process or outcome. One example could be a biased survey question that leads respondents toward a particular response or perspective, influencing the data collected in favor of a specific viewpoint. Another more commonly used example is the use of leading questions in the courtroom that may sway the jury's perception of a case.

2. Nonprejudicial Device: A nonprejudicial device is something that aims to ensure fairness, neutrality, and an absence of bias. An example of a nonprejudicial device could be a double-blind study design in scientific research. In a double-blind study, both the participants and the researchers are unaware of who is receiving the treatment or the control group, eliminating potential bias in the experiment's results.

It's worth noting that these terms may not have precisely defined meanings in all contexts. It is always important to consider the specific context and use case when discussing prejudice and bias in relation to devices or methods.
