Yes my claim is that this idea is promoted to demote science to mere politics, but left unsaid by me was that I was targeting my complaint to the leaders of anti-science movements (climate change denial) who seek to claim moral equivalency so that they might push policies that benefit them politically and financially. I did not offer evidence to support this claim, except as a claim from memory, and don't want to be bothered to look for quotes.
So my argument was underspecified, which led you to believe I was referring to the like of Bohr, Kuhn, Oreskes and other serious thinkers, which I was not.

- dredmorbius 10y agoAgreed, even if I don't find the argument particularly compelling ;-)
