"Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics."
As Margaret Thatcher said about consensus:
"To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects."
My favorite line:
There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period.
