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."

You have to on some level understand that I don't just have to accept this as 'my life' and leave your kids out of it. You're wrong to do this and you cannot be allowed to use this against people without consequence. But I can threaten your kids without there needed to be any consequence. You kids lives do not matter more than mine and I'm not going to apologize to you. Make a statement or else. This is the way it needs to for me to agree to not murder your kids over this and I'm not accepting any conditions or contingencies."
