The reason this person was rightly sent to remediation is not that she disagreed with her teachers on a scientific matter. The reason is that her only justification for disagreeing was religion. In any science (and psychology definitely follows the scientific method, even if it has produced fewer ironclad facts than physics) this is completely unacceptable. "My pastor told me Newton's laws break down at a high enough speed" would never, ever, fly. Even if Newton's laws do break down at a high enough speed, you need science to back it up. In modern psychology, you conduct experiments. You don't rely on what your pastor told you. You don't even rely on what Freud told you. You rely on science, and anyone who does otherwise has no business being a psychologist.
