To avoid being diverted by broad generalities, let's note that with regard to this specific issue, the political decision-making progress will be sub-optimal if it does not take into account the existence of objective evidence concerning the effect of students' circadian rhythms on their ability to satisfy the politically-chosen, yet still objective, goals of education policy.
Fully agree that it should be taken into account.
My point is simply that taken into account does not mean it clear or defacto decision. Even education policy is not a issue that trumps all other considerations.
