:-) Part of a trend that others have named scientism.'Look, science says this.' when a scientist or group of have done a study - setting out to show that '............' . okay?
I don't see the world in left/liberal/right terms, but as a mixture of authoritarian and democratic approaches to human problems and governance.
When I see reports of a study or a survey ....... . I want to see the probability of error that will be inevitably and necessarily built into it because of how it was carried out. OR, why they chose an unbiassed estimator which is rarely a good idea but (weirdly to me) dominant.
As you might already have noted, these 'facts' about a given study are rarely if ever published. Or you aren't / weren't aware of those issues and hadn't thought about it.
So, think about why this is so rarely done or discussed openly within science or public discussion of studies, surveys and reports?
Happy to discuss more off line as this might be edging into politics.
