They need to be careful about the context and the consequences of their writing/communication.
Nazi example shows that “over-emphasizing objectivity as a positive value of technical communication can obfuscate ethical issues.” It shows how so called scientific research led to mass murder and holocaust. The point is that technical writers are also partly responsible. They should think beyond the mechanical act of writing. They should think of human values before scientific ideas. Science should not be thought of as an good in itself. F. precedents pertaining to Nazi experiements. (IRB)
