Such descriptions cannot be objective descriptions, because the descriptions are essentially self-referential; they cannot be scientific descriptions in the same way in which descriptions of inanimate objects are scientific. Accurate unbiased descriptions of scientists' work can not be readily available so long as the scientific community regards reflexive behavior as taboo behavior. Taboos entail a pattern of rejecting/alienating people who violate the prohibitions of the taboos. Taboos are part of collusive games of mutual self deception; e.g., the collusion which pretends that it is possible for scientists to be objective in all their professional work, and that non-objective behavior is not and cannot be worthy of respect. The transcendence of collusive taboos cannot be objective behavior for the people who are participants in and supporters of the collusive taboos. The process of becoming free from a prison cannot be objective behavior. The process of thinking about escaping from prison cannot be objective behavior. Scientists cannot be objective about escaping from the prison of their collusions regarding objective behavior. For scientists to dedicate themselves to always being objective, is to dedicate themselves to staying in prison, and pretending that they are not in prison; to perpetuate the collusion which says that objectivity transcends all bias.
