"Science, to the extent that it should be reported on in high school science textbooks, isn't a fever dream you once had, it's something tangible and affordable, with results that are objectively verifiable by technically available means."

Without regard to what should or should not be taught in high school, do you limit science to what is affordable? I never knew science was defined by cost. And what about falsification? You don't require that? I really was expecting something better coming from someone with your knowledge and education. Your definition is at once so wide as to allow almost anything you want and so narrow as to eliminate nearly anything you want.

No, just science that's worth taking seriously.

Where did I suggest that?

Lay off the insults if you actually want an answer.
