I completely agree. As I said, it's those that recognize that it's a matter of trust that I respect. My complaint was on those who skip that aspect and put the observations on a standard.
Think, for example, of all the times nutritional science has gone back and forth on the healthiness of eggs. If someone were to say that their eating habits are simply following the currently accepted scientific standard, great! But it is less great when considering those that go forward with claims of "Eggs are bad for you, end of story" as an absolute law, with no regard for the context around how they came to know that "law".
