" The science itself never said anything about what to do with the data."

ok and who did? the scientists who did the evaluations right? so what's your point? mine is simply that eugenics came about as a consequence of science, do you disagree?

can we agree that science has to have a practitioner? and that you cannot separate science from its practitioners?

Umm. No. Eugenics is an ideology. You need to understand that the "social sciences" are typically equal to religions that more often push politics than anything else.

You don't practice science the way you practice religion. There's no "different interpretations" in science. Surely there are rivaling hypotheses and bad science, but eventually it will find the truth.

eugenics came about because of science, can we agree on that?

and look dude you might think that you can take people and make them completely objective and strip away all of their ideological leanings when it comes to doing experiments, but i don't buy that personally

" There's no "different interpretations" in science. Surely there are rivaling hypotheses and bad science, but eventually it will find the truth."

science inherently is about different interpretations of data made by different scientists... over time we choose one interpretation as fact and dismiss the others sure but that doesn't change the fact that its about different interpretations of data being compared to each other
