“Demand decisions based on evidence, not ideology”

“Scientists are among those severely affected by the executive order that blocked entry to the United States for citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries. As the personal, professional and legal implications of the policy have emerged, the Trump administration has supposedly softened its stance, and, for example, said that US green-card holders will be exempt. Whether by accident or design, the instinctive response to this apparent concession — the mental sigh of relief — draws heavily on the contrast effect. The situation is bad, but not as bad as it could have been. The stick is less severe than the gun.”
