Should we discard achievements made by unlikable people?

[CapnAwesome]

A lot of Nazi science was pure garbage.  They regularly changed and manipulated data to for their world view.

Plus if the experiments can't be safely and ethically reproduced how can we even check to see if their results are valid??? It's only science of the results can be reproduced consistently.  Otherwise you are trusting the data collection of 70 year dead Nazis with a history of gaming data.

But these particular experiments were well conducted and documented. The fact that they tortured people does not invalidate the data. It may taint it.

If you can't repeat the data, we have no way of knowing if they were either of those things. You just have to take the word of people who regularly manipulated data.
