I think science likes to move faster than that. What does "completely objective" even mean? That's like saying you want something in real time or with no bugs.

I think science likes to move faster than that. What does "completely objective" even mean? That's like saying you want something in real time or with no bugs. It's all evidence, not proof. We just keep moving from prior beliefs to posterior beliefs.
- IanDrake 14y agoBy that I mean, there is no measurement cherry picking. No "data cleaning" functions to reduce "noise". The measurement would have to use all observations as they were observed by the same exact hardware in the same environment day after day. From this dataset the measurement function can interpolate or extrapolate how ever much it wants, but it must use the same algorithm year after year.
