Most people are not very good at handling evidence when things get complicated.

When you use methods that work better than theirs, it may rub them the wrong way. To them, it'll seem somehow gratuitous. Given that they don't notice the difference between their level of realism and reality, they don't see the need for going any further.

More troublingly still, to the biased, objectivity and neutrality may seem biased.

If you think you are not biased because you are on the right side of things morally, then you are biased for that very reason.

Taking an honorable position will not replace evidence and logic. The tricky bit is that people think it will, probably without quite realizing that this is what their attitude implies.

Trying to be more objective and balanced than others is not a recipe for popularity, though people who know you well will appreciate it, because they will frequently benefit from it.
