This may be debatable, but seems to accurately describe what most academics call "science". The more common understanding is what's described in the parent.
Often times when people say "trust the science" they're referring to results in the first category, but people take it to mean not "these results are preliminary and unproven" (and filled with asterisks), but instead "to deny this is denying empirical fact."
