Experiment Bias

The overarching bias that privileges the experimental method itself as the sole arbiter of truth. It assumes that if you cannot isolate, manipulate, and measure a phenomenon in an experiment, it is not a legitimate object of knowledge. This renders history, ethics, love, and justice mere matters of opinion.
Example: Dismissing the concept of systemic racism because "you can't run a controlled experiment on society." Experiment bias confuses one powerful tool for knowledge with the definition of knowledge itself, rendering most of human experience allegedly unknowable.
