Missing these parts out is what is being discussed both in the headlined article and in other parts of this very discussion. The acceptance here is in fact the uncritical acceptance that such experiments are valid, constructive, and not biased by forcing a particular desired outcome in order to support some agenda, or by ignoring an uncontrolled external factor that skews the results. Whereas one should have questioned what your social studies teacher was trying to demonstrate, and whether the experiment was correctly fashioned for demonstrating it in the first place. It is time to re-visit what was drilled into you in middle school, more critically.
