You just don't like the things I've said. AND I DON'T ANSWER TO YOU! You aren't an authority to which I can be held accountable.

Get the dinosaur ignorance mug.The counterweight to Ignorance Objectivity—the belief that knowledge, while necessary, is never sufficient for objectivity. The Non-Ignorance Objectivist understands that learning a field's facts and methods is the entry requirement for having an informed opinion, but that even the most knowledgeable expert remains subject to framing effects, blind spots, and community assumptions. True objectivity isn't achieved by escaping knowledge or by accumulating it—it's achieved by constantly subjecting your knowledge to critique from multiple angles. It's the bias of people who know that knowing isn't enough.
