      That’s an example of how research can be biased. There are plenty of examples over the past 100 years of science that has been condemned for being both erroneous and racist.

      But also for being bad science. That's the thing. Facts cannot be racist. And most science is not influenced by race. That's why people in different corners of the world frequently make the same discoveries concurrently independently of each other.

      A plant photosynthesising doesn't care if you are Vietnamese or Inuit. Nor does it make any difference to how chloroplasts work.

      But a study on IQ or joblessness is affected by interpretation.

      Now you've left science and entered a murkier realm.

      I'm not quite ready to give race-IQ linkage research that honorary designation.

      You don’t get to exclude it because it doesn’t fit the narrative. It was science for decades before people challenged it.

      "Science" is a method and a system not a proposition.

      If you want to define science as “the infallible *method* or principle leading to a systematically organized body of knowledge,” I won’t argue against that. I agree science is largely our best method of inquiry...for many things.

      Science is the process by which we eradicate falsities. So when you speak of much analysis of dubious science which shows it to be false, what you are describing is science fixing itself. It's not that "Science" was the wrong stuff & finding out it was wrong is something else
