When all the biases one is asked to acknowledge and account for are biases against one specific political movement and its symbols, this is an isolated demand for rigour (https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/08/14/beware-isolated-demand...) and not necessarily good for science. To adapt your thermometer metaphor, if there were two types of thermometer in circulation, one 10C too high and one 10C too low, would demanding that people constantly remind each other, and where possible correct, for thermometers that output a temperature that is too high (and perhaps labelling any reference to the low-balling ones as dangerous misinformation by people who have a vested interest in high readings) actually improve the quality of scientific output? On the meta-analysis level, the opposite might happen, if the biases used to cancel out on average and now one of them is left standing unopposed.

And which biases, specifically, are asked to be accounted for? My count on that page is zero.
