> No one has a problem with science itself per se. Everyone accepts the scientific method to be one of our greatest cultural achievements

This is just wrong and naive. You can be happy if a majority of people agree to this.



As written, possibly. Taken literally, it's full of holes.

But if you're not a pedant, I essentially mean that most parents will vaccinate their children, many passengers will book flights, and a majority of the citizens in a population do respect their officials (etcetera).

And I think if you were to dig deeper than this, and test that hypothesis with... well... a scientific experiment of some kind, the result would probably support it.

But a good number of people will naturally question the outcome!
