That's silly. It ignores factors like study design, bias on either side of the investigation, or even simple technological issues.
In the case of Kleck's "estimate", how specifically have you excluded bias, from both respondents and from the collators of the replies? Remember, be specific.
"He might have a bias." is not a valid argument to reject a scientific study. You need to prove that he has a bias by doing a better study.
