You know scientists? Any biologists among them? I'd love to hear what they say about you.
But perhaps they have never heard of historical sciences like geology. And perhaps they have never written for a juried publication.
You'll have to show me where professional scientists dismiss the idea of consensus.
Why, thank you.
Since professional scientists don't dismiss the idea of consensus, then we can logically conclude that all those frevos who beat the drum that science is not done by consensus are NOT professional scientists.
Since they are not professional scientists, then they have no credentials for telling us what is and is not science and cannot tell non-evos that they're wrong, because they have no basis to make that determination; they're not qualified to.
