Has this informal polling been instructive, or?
So no matter how many science-fan clichés he writes about how science is so rigorously self-critical and inevitably reaches the correct conclusion, and no matter how many legitimate criticisms about the exclusion and marginalization faced by women and minorities in science that he handwaves away with noble rhetoric about how unbiased and objective science is, according to you I should just assume that he means the exact opposite of the words he's typing and that he has a much more nuanced understanding of the social and cultural context of science than his words describe?
