Sorry Andrew, but I won't let you slip it past.  Noone on this list to
my knowledge has advocated that "we use a racialist-scientistic frame",
and that is not the same thing as advocating an open-minded, as opposed to
ideological knee-jerk, appraisal of sociobiological/evolutionary
psychology research.  (I'm not sure what is meant by "defending the
conclusions of sociobiologistic research," but it sounds like another
attempt to impute racism.)
