Not to mention that "Mr. X" he interviewed who supposedly molested hundreds of kids.
Did Kinsey DO anything about that molester?
Hell, NO!
He used it to prove "sexual responses" in toddlers.
And Kinsey also had sex with his interviewees, male and female.
Why Kinsey is so lauded and respected is a mystery.
He wasn't just a terrible "scientist", he was a filthy degenerate.
He’s lauded an respected because he (quite properly) kept himself detached and clinical about his results. That’s what a researcher does - if they do their job correctly. They turn off their emotions and just record results.
