You may have heard accusations that conservatives are “anti-science”. Most of said “anti-science” behavior is conservatives applying a filter to scientific results attempting to correct for the above bias.
Of course this doesn’t give one a licence to simply ignore science that disagrees with one’s politics. Perhaps a ratio of two PC papers are as reliable as one non-PC paper? Very difficult to properly calibrate I would think, and of course the reliability varies from field to field.
Correct.
