I appreciate that managing the threads requires some intricate balance of numerous considerations, from politics to religion, to misusing science for antisocial ends, to shielding students from trash science. And certainly I find no issue with such clear excursions.
But I do wonder at some areas that aren't nearly as clear.

I'm not sure that it belongs in Social Sciences, nor really in any particular science discipline even, and I agree somewhat that it is not strictly science nor conducted as such. But I do happen to think that it is an interesting topic, and I enjoyed the multi-disciplined range of responses about something that we all may normally take for granted.
Surely if it was good enough for Feynman to comment about it should be worthy of public airing and contribution. Rather than locking in such cases isn't it better to find it a new home outside of a science area?
