Is this the "scientist" version of the "No True Scotsman" fallacy? ;-)
Cheers!
No, it’s a hurried, and therefore poorly written attempt to indicate that science is not done by debate or facts established by consensus.
Scientists, being human beings, argue as much as any others, but their science, when it is science, is about facts and principles, not opinions.
By the way, you are on the list.
