Yeah I might be nitpicking. I agree with you. I get frustrated when people conflate a neutral scientific method with a neutral scientist: that a scientist cannot explore political/ideological topics with robust methods because its biased. Do you see the sleight of hand I'm talking about? I've noticed it a lot in the reproducibility discourse.
