Yes, it is always fine to question scientific conclusions with legitimate concerns.
Or we could always revert to letting the church decide what valid science is, I guess.
- f6v 5y ago> Yes, it is always fine to question scientific conclusions with legitimate concerns. See, scientific consensus is usually based on data and certain statistics. Those who question it usually express opinions without addressing the data and methodology. An opinion is not enough, you need to be very specific.
- errantmind 5y agoQuestioning something does not require an opinion.
- f6v 5y agoQuestioning something without facts to back it up is pointless.
- errantmind 5y agoI'm not sure what that means. Whoever makes the claim provides the facts. If you aren't convinced by those facts then you don't accept the claim. You don't need to bring facts of your own to refuse to believe a claim.
- watwut 5y agoYeah, except majority of those were nit legitimate questions. They were partisanship or other immediate political goal motivated bullshit.
