One thing that makes me optimistic is that work like this might lead to a culture that puts more stock in data, and less in our presuppositions. We can't help but be biased by the nature of our perceptions and interactions. IMO many avenues are limited to us simply because we cannot agree upon the meaning of the initial data we gather. Programs like this don't need to build a conceptual framework to move on. They only need logical consistency.
