On second thought I'd tone that down - "at least as dishonest" to "just as
dishonest"
And then it directly and trivially follows from "human beings are human beings"

Sorry I cant let that pass without a protest! In my experience the
scientific types are more bigoted than the religious ones. As an
antidote to bigotry - which is probably what you mean by 'religious
behavior' - I recommend the following words of Nagarjuna:
| Everything is real and is not real,
| Both real and not real,
| Neither real nor not real.
| This is Lord Buddha's teaching.
About group-think: Yes its not nice. But oftentimes very necessary.
Here is something I wrote on the python-list just yesterday about why
one should choose git over other VCSes.
