A good researcher/author should be equally able to recognize and control their "conflicts of interest". I think it is probably even far easier to control and be more objective in that case than when the person has a personal bias. I actually think it is close to impossible for a person to ignore their personal bias and present "fair" evidence against their bias because then they'd probably not have the bias. OTOH it is quite easy to be fair and ignore potential financial gain, if the person so chooses. | |
