On: Objectivity and rigor are “harmful practices,” says major DC think tank

[dmarchand90]

From my brief readings in this kind of thing it seems like the researchers in this field have made the batshit move to come up with their own definitions of rigor and objectivity that's not the same as the one used in the natural sciences.

But, as far as I can tell, they're not advocating some sort of mystic rejection of reality (though they seem entirely indifferent to that kind of misinterpretation from their lousy jargon)

[phdelightful → dmarchand90]

Their definitions seem reasonable:

"Objectivity...is the distance between the “researcher” and “researched.”

"Rigor measures whether research is reliable, accurate, and trustworthy."

They they go on to criticize certain aspects of these two terms
