That would be nice,and I would pay to see it. So far I have never run across a human being who is 100% unbiased about ANYTHING.
I have however run across quite a few who have 100% personal certitude that they are right about their personal superstitions. My unbiased opinion of such individuals is that they are fuckwits.
How do you determine what "unbiased" and "objective" mean in a way that isn't conditioned by your own subjective experience? I'm not saying it's impossible, but the issue doesn't seem like something that can just be hand-waved away without serious consideration.
