I would never argue with that. I also wouldn't argue that hypothermia is something we should study. Mengele studied it by keeping Jews in freezing water until they died. In most cases of bad scientific research, the subject is just fine, but the research methods are what's evil.
At its core its not all that diffrent from those old Hollywood biopics about crusaders triumphing over the masses not understanding them they used to make about people like Florenz Ziegfield and Louis Pasteur.
That's what makes the movie so sick. Take Pasteur---here's a guy who said that we should try all these processes to make our lives better, and people said his vaccines would cause people to grow cowpox on their bodies and other hysterical pishposh. Kinsey's detractors say hysterical things like "Just because a lot of prison inmates are homosexual doesn't mean everybody is" and "Adults shouldn't rape children" but they're treated as fearful prudes and Dr. Kinsey is the wonderful hero...
Of course, you probably figured that out on your own, but these sorts of mistakes bug me when I'm the one who makes them.
