Over and over again, with regard to so many disciplines, I think of histories in which systemic analyses are initially decried as sissy stuff as compared with the Manly Heroics of focus on one element of a system.

Also, studies of things that are complex enough we won't immediately reduce them to black-and-white one-zero logic are clearly inferior to studies of things we can fully understand fast. Biology, sociology, psychology, vs math/computers.

...and there is no distinction between the phenomena we study, and the analytical machinery we bring to studying it, when it's Good Science. So analytical methods couldn't possibly influence conclusions!

Of course not! Nor can computer-aided methods be biased, when they've been written by tons of biased people. Computers can't be biased!
