My working title: The Mismeasure of Man (catchy, eh?). Nothing will be the same when Gil and I are done with this. In the not-distant future, discourse in science that betrays ignorance of "experimenter bias" and the empirical demonstration of same will become, rightfully, the object of merciless ridicule. |
Isn't experimenter bias already a known phenomenon and hence the reason why double blind experiments were devised? Peer review also exists to curb bias by having results analyzed by outsiders without vested interests.
(I'm assuming that you were 100% serious throughout the whole of your comment. You did say sarcasm was not appropriate so no facetiousness allowed.)
So the non-science world may finally be learning that bias is present in all people and must be vigorously rooted out. 'Bout time. |
I guess I was too subtle. The entire post is facetious and sarcastic, because, as you rightly note, experimenter bias is a long and well-known phenomenon that did indeed motivate the invention of double blind procedures. The Mismeasure of Man was Stephen Jay Gould's 1996 examination of the phenomenon in the context of race.
Gil thinks he has just discovered it. What an idiot. And I am hopeful that he will become, rightfully, the object of merciless ridicule - beginning with my post. Get busy! |
Gil and I ........twice? (not to mention biwhtvr dishorder) .....and too subtle?
