Many social science experiments are just the continual gathering of data to support your point. There are correlational studies, that when you shift the data enough, a positive correlation jumps out in your favor. Ideology trumping evidence; for instance, the variance in group IQ scores is real, but social scientists deny this in spite of the evidence to the contrary.

The most famous can be traced back to grade school.

Remember when you were told to try tasting things on different areas of your tongue? The texts say you can only taste sweet on the tip of your tongue, etc. The experiments show you can taste sweet all over your tongue, so the teachers tell you that despite blatant empirical evidence disproving the accepted theory, you were told to disregard your evidence, and that the text was right.

Experimental bias is the disregarding of evidence that disproves your theory. Just look at everything even slightly science related coming out of the US White House over the last 8 years. Look at Creationist Science. Look at the Catholic Church, violently suppressing any new idea that challenged doctrine.

The SAT that asks questions like when was the
American Revolutionary War fought...?

Yes people know that...

But ask most people who was the first man to die fighting in the same war and the head scratching comminces...

It was an African American named Crispus Attucks..

Which is more important, the date of a war or the people who gave their lives for the cause of the war...

HHHmmmm
