Alright, but you can't eliminate bias -- or even identify it, necessarily. Science isn't some idealized Positivist process. It's full of big egos, feuds, academic empire-builders and, yeah, cultural biases (which at their deepest won't even be recognized as such). We have to understand the limitations of science as it's actually practiced as well as its strengths, even though (in the short term) those limitations will be exploited for demagogic ends by science's enemies.
