That I disagree with. As you'd expect.
My point is, if we don't understand that what we call science is often 
times in fact unsupportable opinion, and in all other cases 
circumstantially supportable opinion, then we risk erring severely. By 
preventing discussion on such things we become culpable for the 
atrocities committed in the name of science by those who have little 
or no understanding of the tool they wield, or that they are holding 
it by the blade (or that, in some cases, it has a double ended blade 
and no handles)(like C).
