Sure there are scientific ways to go about things. But the idea that there is 'safe thought' and 'dangerous thought' is just plain batshit lunacy. A lot of amazing stuff we take for granted today started off with "hmm.. I wonder if <x> is possible somehow" .. Nobody is being paid to conjecture "what if there were a way to do it.." unless, they actually are.

And it would be clearly false: It can be dangerous to be wrong, such as thinking that drinking concentrated bleach will somehow cure you from a disease. Or, you know, destroying infrastructure based on unsubstantiated fears.
