That has never been the basis of science. Science DOES require that
the science be done by someone who is interested in the actual facts,
and doesn't give a DAMN about where the data leads to. The most
reasonable alternative is considered for the model.
I haven't read the book "The Bell Curve", nor am I likely to. So I don't
know if the authors are unbias or twits. I have seen alot of "rebuttals"
and reviews of it, however, and I can say without question that those who
responded to it have their heads up their asses. The subject is so
emotionally and politically charged, I don't think it will ever have an
unbias observer, so it will never be a study in the realm of 'science'.
