@shekinahcancook@meltedcheese I think you make a leap to this idea of consensus. The idea of consensus is not entailed by the theory ladenness. Seems like you are emotionally troubled by theory ladenness and grasping for something ("consensus") to provide psychological relief for that trouble. I think instead it's important to "live" with that psychological trouble, without jumping to solutions. "Most facts are theory laden" (full stop). Instead of "most facts are theory laden, ergo blah."
