I would say that anything beyond pure math is affected to a large degree by subjectivity. I have worked across three research fields (architecture, geography, informatics) and all researchers I met from these fields (apart from 1-2 exceptions) are hugely affected by their subjective intra-group beliefs. Not only that, they extrapolate their world view beyond their respective fields, which I find wrong and concerning.

Does this result in some kind of explicitly noticeable things in their output? Or it's more noticeable on a meta-level via things like publication bias, choice of research topics, etc?
