The average person might know scientific discoveries and principles, but few understand what the human enterprise of science entails - hypothesis, theory, law, reproducibility, statistical significance, falsifiability, etc. I've found trying to explain these things causes discomfort, distrust, and creates more problems than it solves. Most people seem to prefer to associate science with precision, correctness, and infallibility.
