They might have a reason. I can understand if they want to compare the result of the model with a past experiment. That's normal.

Completely agree, so just let them work.

By the way, I don't see "evil" in these experiments and I want a 100% free from bias model too, but I wouldn't dare to attribute the result to lazyness, stupidity or racism. If I come with something completely new then I would try to compare it with something that already exists too.
