All evaluations of your writiing are biased

All evaluations of articles for publication in professional journals are biased Image result for bias




Taking an essentialist stance in regard to  language, some  argues that all discourse is rhetorical and words do not constrain/manacle/handcuff  meaning, and that to think otherwise is to subscribe to an illusory objectivist account of meaning; 

So that's language dealt with

Now legal theory;  interpretation of the law by a judge is no less an exercise of power than is the behaviour of the violent criminal who uses brute force; in legal rulings the bottom line remains the ascendancy of one person or set of interests over another; 

You can't sa fairer than that 

Right!  in science, all knowledge is also rhetorical; in social theory, principles are really preferences, and vice versa; in literary interpretation, the critic makes the text refer to whatever is relevant to his purpose; in the academic profession, ‘blind’ evaluation of scholarly papers submitted to journals is just as biased as evaluation with full knowledge of the author’s identity, because all readings are biased.

Right! So that has dealt with that
