I dunno. In my books the ability to disregard emotional biases is the definition of clear-headedness.

I get that people aren't rational. But that's not a good reason to waste money and inflict social damage in the process of placating them.

Your argument could just as well be used to advocate for the "inconvenience" of promoting intelligent design in public science education.
