That's how inquiries get rigged. How otherwise legitimate research gets messed-up. People with a bias refuse to set their bias aside when they need to study the facts. Whether those facts are how to understand a statistical survey, a study under the scientific method, or a careful analysis of the meaning of words from important texts. When you start with the mindset of a hammer, you are almost certain to find nails. When you come to find out what the evidence provides, you at least have a chance at discovering something that is really there.
