Well, only if the scientist, maintains the ability to remain an 'impartial observer' and is collecting data to process. The link's article didn't go into any other information that he gathered before that would have caused him to incorporate his experiences into his findings or reason to take closer notice.

That's one thing that stuck out in the link I posted, that got people pissy. The researches in the video, seemed to maintain a level of observation, rather than to prove or disprove a predisposed position.

You gotta' stay open to the possibilities.....it only closes when it gets into a political mindset....or in other ways of diminished openness to collect data...and often a political wing will distort science to further an agenda....built on bad science, but money to be made and power to control, of course!
