I love that the response to people pointing out questionable methodology is little more than "well, I better not catch you being a hypocrite later!"
It's more that people are far more careful about evaluating methodology when the conclusion is something they disagree with, and much more lenient with methodology when the conclusion is something they agree with.
It'd be like Antifar attacking someone for using a poll or some shit. All the usual suspects agreed that this shouldn't have been removed by the university, so basically everyone is in agreement on what really matters. Scholarship should never be taken down by a mob, only refuted and debated and counteracted with better evidence if there is any.
Which I suppose is perfectly reasonable to discuss, but it's a completely different issue. Someone could use double standards when they look at studies, and the one study could still have questionable methodology at the same time. It just sounds so dismissive.
