I've found this paragraph in a book description :
Mayo has long argued for an account of learning from error that goes
far beyond detecting logical inconsistencies. In this book, she
presents her complete program for how we learn about the world by
being "shrewd inquisitors of error, white gloves off.
I'am wondering about the meaning of "white gloves off" here. Can anyone help me to clarify it ?
Thanks.
