Theodore M. Porter, Trust in Numbers The Pursuit of Objectivity in Science and Public Life (Princeton Princeton University Press, 1995), p. 22. Porter shows convincingly how "mechanical objectivity has served as a means for bureaucracies, especially in democracies where expert judgment and expertise are always suspected of masking self-serving motives, to create an impersonal set of decision rules at once seemingly democratic and neutral. 

Megill references Theodore Porter s work on objectivity in the service of statistics and public administration (Gigerenzer et. al., 1989, chap. 7 Porter, 1992). As becomes evident in the following discussion, there is a close relationship between statistics and instrumental objectivity.
