Great Powers’ New Year Resolution: Now We Need Action by Rene Wadlow
On 3 January 2022 the People’s Republic of China, the French Republic, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America issued a joint statement on security, disarmament, and arms control.
“We affirm that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. As nuclear use would have far-reaching consequences, we also affirm that nuclear-weapons – for as long as they continue to exist – should serve defensive purposes, deter aggression and prevent war.

So participant observation or data observation are kind of outdated methods of science, or of little interest to those who think any scientific claim should be backed up by data.
