Amen. And unfortunately, there's a very large percentage of the population that believes that if the NYT, Atlantic, or CNN writes an article referencing "science" it's as good as settled truth.
Nothing could be further from reality.
There's a ton of shameful, partisan "science" out there right now. Even in the peer reviewed journals.
Yet the same fools that read a summary "science" article [typically written by some liberal arts major with zero science credentials] are the first ones to accuse others as science deniers.
And by the way, the fluffy article written by the National Review guy several threads back could serve as an Exhibit A of how this is a very much a journalistic issue that affects all. And then the internet, just like viral PCR tests, magnify these junk fragments to massively outsized proportions, thus further confusing the masses and distorting reality.
Up is down. Black is white. Slavery is freedom. War is peace.
SMH....
And by the way, I'm not suggesting that science is easy, obvious and/or clear cut. Indeed, it's usually just the opposite. And it's rarely settled. Beware anyone that claims otherwise.
