"The Executive Order suggests that research must achieve these criteria to be considered research done with integrity…This fails to recognize that achieving all of these in any single study is rarely, if ever, achieved. There is no perfect study…Understanding is gained across the accumulation of evidence from many studies… Enforcement by political appointees risks introducing partisan and ideological interference in how science is evaluated and used. Moreover, this process centralizes assessment of evidence as an activity of the state. Responsible policymaking would recognize and support science as a decentralized enterprise."
