Spent $75 on a ticket to see that professor from Berkeley who got shouted down last year

Everyone said it would be a waste, but hearing him explain his actual research on campus politics was worth it. The protest outside was loud, but inside he just gave a normal talk about data from student surveys. I think we need to actually listen to these speakers more instead of just reacting to headlines. Has anyone else gone to a talk that was way different than what people said it would be?

That data is probably biased anyway.

Bias is everywhere, sure... but throwing that out just stops the talk. We gotta work with the info we have. Dismissing it means we never get to the real story. It's lazy to just call bias and walk away. We should dig into why the data might be skewed instead.
