We believe there is no institution more capable of impartial statistical inquiry than the Galton Laboratory. We have no axes to grind, we have no governing body to propitiate by well-advertised discoveries; we are paid by nobody to reach results of a given bias. We have no electors, no subscribers to encounter in the market-place. We firmly believe that we have no political, no religious and no social prejudices, because we find ourselves abused incidentally by each group and organ in turn. We rejoice in numbers and figures for their own sake and, subject to human fallibility, collect our data—as all scientists must do—to find out the truth that is in them.98
