[quantified]

Are you more worried about the ethnic or cultural makeup of any set of knowledgeable people than the fact that they do or don’t have knowledge? How do you determine that African-Americans are underrepresented as “experts”-where is your research?

Of course humans don’t live up to their ideals. There is no “science” on its own, there are people conscientiously or not applying scientific methods and honesty, or not. Which kinds of expertise should we ditch first, which should we hold on to? Maybe a Great Leap Forward to get everyone on the same page? Even tobacco, oil and pharma scientists had good science, which was covered up by the companies.
