Scientific Double Standards

The practice of applying different scientific standards to different research programs, different findings, or different researchers—demanding extraordinary evidence from inconvenient results while accepting ordinary evidence from favored conclusions. Scientific Double Standards are what make science political: funding flows to some questions, peer review favors some paradigms, publication privileges some findings. They're the signature of science as institution, not science as ideal—the gap between how science is supposed to work and how it actually works.
Example: "The study supporting his view was accepted with minimal review; the study challenging it was subjected to endless scrutiny. Scientific Double Standards in action: different standards for different findings, depending on whether they confirmed or challenged. The double standard was invisible to him, which is how science becomes ideology."

M.S.T. (MUT Standard Time)
