>Belief should not be optional in the face of well-supported scientific conclusions. What if I don't trust the scientists doing the work, or the larger system that they work in? What if I find the common incarnation of the entire field lacking? I do not trust much published by sociology, regardless of how many studies show results, because of the political nature of the field. On the other hand, physicist who say they found a new particle? I don't have an once of doubt (though maybe I should have a little). Part of the problem is that the very language used in sociology is crafted to reached the desired findings. Once the integrity of an entire field has been lost, what can be done to restore it?
