Amen; but we also need to relialize that this cannot simply be done with a
statement of willpower. IOW you can't just personally "check your bias at the
door" because:

1) much personal bias may be held at the subconscious level

2) some forms of human behavior and bias are simply a part of being human and
being alive. Such as: the tendency to report "differences" in quality when
given 2 identical sound stimuli and the propensity to interpret small changes
in level as changes in quality.

Or the bias to deny a difference if it does not fit into ones
world-view.
