This is mostly true. However, it is also the reason that the 'scientific method' exists. Using this method makes it possible for an individual to 'weed out' his bias. Having other scientist with different backgrounds, and therefore different preconcieved notions, also come to the same conclusion, repeatedly, insures that no bias has 'skewed' the theory.
