double-blind experiment - an experimental procedure in which neither the subjects of the experiment nor the persons administering the experiment know the critical aspects of the experiment; "a double-blind procedure is used to guard against both experimenter bias and placebo effects"
Almost no science experimentation is done double blind today. What is just as bad is the verbiage that describes what most so called experiments, have found. It often disagrees with the data but no one seems to care and they accept the bias of the writer as fact.
Why do you trust any authority today? If you do, then that makes you dumb but that was the intent from the beginning.
