Wow. You're really not. Let me give it a go.
Bias can never be eliminated, but it can be overcome by a greater commitment: the commitment to truth. We commit to pursue the evidence wherever it leads, because we believe that the truth is of such great and ultimate benefit and significance that this overwhelms any personal or political inconvenience. We will be the first ones to say what no one in our generation wants to hear, but what the next generation will be glad we uncovered, as has been the role of so many of our forefathers, heroes in the past. Though my peers abandon me and seek to bury the inconvenient out of fear of the consequences or desire to manipulate, I will tell the truth because I trust my fellow man to always make the best decisions with the benefit of full and accurate knowledge. We will not blink, and we will not lie, and we will not allow professional ambition, personal benefit, or cherished beliefs to overpower our sacred trust as humanity's best line of defense against ignorance and lies.
