        Are you unaware that confirmation bias in science is real?

          I am aware it’s real, but I’m not aware why it specifically applies to Mitchell.

          Do you not like his conclusions? Because that would be confirmation bias - on your part.

            Indeed it would be! Delighted! Perhaps you’re correct.

            ETA: Some religious institutions don’t interfere in research. I think I’ma but gunshy in the states with “Bob Jones” graduates and the ilk.

                Tbf, the Ivy League schools were in the admissions bribery scandals. I’ve nothing against Trinity, ( but I’m leaving my comment for transparency). I’m probably just skeptical having been ruled by the Talibangicals since Gingrich.

                  Yes, I deleted my comparison to Harvard. Its most relevant peers are Oxford, Cambridge, and a few other schools in the UK. There is even a program for reciprocal granting of degrees.
