Re: Scientific fact > hysteria
said by CrazyFingers  :Now now pnh106 (sic), we both know that is an absurd statement. Why? You just said the same thing about the "scientists" of old. I am extending your statement to the scientists of new. Science certainly isn't dead as an academic discipline, and for us to assume that we "know everything" is silly and dangerous. To quote one such scientist, "we do not know, what we don't know."
My main problem with simply "going with the consensus" on any subject is that it discourages academic review. It is just as bad as answering every scientific question with the response "God did it." Without review and challenging of accepted scientific principles, how will we know that they are valid or not?

I had hoped that the sarcasm in the second sentence would have made the same in the first sentence obvious.
I over-estimated you. I'm sorry, I promise it won't happen again.
