Accounting for (and making disclosures of conflict of interest about) biases isn’t “meta-level sneering”. It’s a fundamental part of science.
Studying a subject is the most important part of science. If a research area degenerates into pure accusations of bias and nonsense arguments (as distinct things; yes I agree that bias can be relevant as long as it’s not the only topic), then it is pretty worthless.
