Hi Mark
Scientists are people too. There was a time when science was rife with
racism. Though I'm not a scientist so I don't know for sure, I suspect it's
still a huge advantage to be male and white and not necessarily in that
order.
Anyway, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings about the thought experiment.
Sorry if I came on too strong.
Thank you for sharing your comments.
Dan
