and the whole time i have been thinking it was because herding cats is impossible ......... even when most of them are really stoned

its also true that 2 people can be told the same thing and arrive @ 2 separate conclusions
@ a job i once worked; we had a meeting wherein they changed a procedure~ when i started using the new procedure on the floor; my supervisor corrected me 'they said to do this the old way' {not in so many words} 50% of that meeting had been introducing the new procedure and she was right there @ the same meeting but had to go ask the manager what was going on when i applied what we were told ~it was a pretty cut and dried thing too
when people confuse simple things; just imagine how more complex things can be construed
the problem is not so much the anti-science crew; but the pseudo-science crew who try to pass scientism as science.
these are usually the ones creating dogmatic beliefs out of a discipline whose purpose is understanding how mechanisms work.
go figure.
mysticism used to be the same search for truth, it covered all of what we now call science and those that followed it around the world mastered disciplines beyond what we now have in mainstream science depending on your interpretation of sophistication, that we still cannot reproduce..
science isn't new and its central problem (the principle of uniformity) comes back to three men aristotle, socrates and plato.. but i doubt anyone cares why anyway, just call me a pseudo scientist if you like, some go for crazy..
they used bogus science experiments to justify its danger
monkeys exposed to pure smoke for 5 minutes periods led to brain damaged monkeys and thus dangerous marijuana
I understand how prohibition took place and how the racist,puritanical politicians of the day misused, not used "bogus science" experiments to further their own political agendas.
The key word here being "bogus."
If said experiments were "bogus", then it is the scientists to blame; not the science.
There will always be men willing to bias their own work or allow others to do just that to accomplish a goal. Just look at global warming, um, I mean climate change.
This thread reminds me of how Obama during his speech in Ohio last week warned about conspiracy theorist, and not to trust them. Then this week we find out about Bengazi and the IRS scandals. This is a crazy world we live in, there is no more black and white, only gray.
