> Well, the rational thing is obviously to be scared of what ideas sound like.

Yes, actually. If an idea sounds like it can be used to commit crimes against humanity, you should pause. You should reassess said idea multiple times. You should be skeptical. You shouldn't ignore that feeling.

What a lot of people are missing is intent - the human element. Why were these studies conducted? Who conducted them?

If someone insane conducts a study then yes - that is absolutely grounds to be skeptical of said study. It's perfectly rationale. If extremely racist people produce studies which just so happen to be racist, we should take a step back and go "hmm".

Being right or being correct is one thing, but it's not absolutely valuable. The end-result and how "bad" it is also matters, and often times it matters more. And, elephant in the room, nobody actually knows if they're right. Making logical conclusions isn't so, because you are forced to make thousands of assumptions.

You might be right, you might not be. Let's all have some humility.
