There are many bullshitters among those who claim they are scientists. But that is merely because we have failed to apply the same standard to research goods as we have ordinary consumer, business, industrial, and government products, services, and information. This isn’t terribly hard to do.

It would unemploy vast numbers of pseudoscientists, and sophists, and fictionalists and petty criminals. I can’t think of a better law to enact for researchers academics public intellectuals reporters advertisers and marketers. 😉

That does not mean science is not the most powerful method of the production of truth we have ever invented and is very likely if not certainly the most advanced it is possible for humans to develop.

The fact that the nitwit and midwit factions are as easily fooled by nonsense, pseudoscience, sophistry, and theology is a function of the commonality of nitwits and midwits.
