>Is it acceptable to correct the answer to the query "Eminent scientist" from 95% men, 5% woment to 50%/50% or to the current ratio of men/women in science ? Should we correct the ratio of black to white people in answering a generic question to average across the globe or US ?

It’s a great question, and one where you won’t find consensus. I believe we should aim to avoid arrogance. Rather than prescribing a world view, prescribe a default and let the users overwrite. Diversity vs. reality should be a setting, in the users’ control.
