don't you understand, the sciences are BAD bc they treat SES as a confounding factor rather than something that needs to be explained away in the name of [squints] political neutrality

The dogmatic assumption that SES is a genetically independent variable IS leftism.

Nick, controlling for SES (or any other factor) is not a "dogmatic assumption". It is a necessary part of producing a valid empirical study.

Bullshit. You can't control for the impact of the thing you're trying to examine without making that thing disappear.

is low SES identical to high T? otherwise your complaint is nonsensical, demands the study be about something else than it actually is

If science wasn't at least to a minimal level of adequacy independent of your bullshit, we would indeed be screwed.

Given adequate regime diversity, that's all anyone is going to get. I have enough confidence in the prospects of regime diversity to have confidence in the future of science. So yes. (What have you got?)

Because your appeal to "control factors" is entirely sophistical. And the only way to sort that out is though competitive jurisdictional diversity.
