      On board with both of you.

      Science that isn’t ethical science is a huge problem we can’t just wave away, and science that isn’t good science is also a huge problem we can’t just wave away.

      On the other hand, good science that is also ethical science can be immensely useful when it helps to describe the world and predict things that could happen accurately.
