It's just such a silly term. It doesn't bring up any interesting arguments and is far too often coopted and appropriated into conversation for the scoring of points or leveraging oneself where someone simply doesn't have any.

So go ahead and bring up scientism - I'm not saying you can't, I'm just saying I'm going to ignore it.

I didn't say it. One of your unbiased scientists did.

As Christopher Hitchens would say, "impartiality has absolutely nothing to do with objectivity." In other words, being unbiased has absolutely nothing to do with being right or being wrong.
