1st of all if a model is useful or not has NOTHING to do with anything, and people get into science to know and understand how the natural world around them works.QuoteSo do you get a chuckle when a scientist draws a conclusion based on their prejudices instead of including the many ways the data obtained could be interpreted?
That's why everything is rigorously peer reviewed. There is no authority that judges work. Your peers have to be able to replicate your methods and experiments. If they can't be replicated your ideas don't become part of the scientific literature except maybe just as ideas to discuss
Um. Congress is peer reviewed too, by whole groups of voters. You can see where that got us.
"Peer review" is only as good as the peerage.
There is something wrong with the scientific method, and what is wrong is US. When we stop realizing that, science fails.
