But people do science. We bring our bias, limited vision, and our politics and opinions.

Which is why there is the scientific method. Good science is reproducible and provable regardless of what your opinion is.

Facts are facts regardless.

'Facts' bend to the funding available. Money (can) drive conclusions. Interpretation is a matter of prior experience and available terminology. Even our hallowed logic stands on unprovable axioms.

That and there is an incredible shortage of reproductions and garbage publications that are difficult or impossible to replicate with the available information.

These point to soft sciences, so I suppose my point doesn't stand so much for things like climate change publications, or evolutionary biology.
