Science bashing? As in he's bashing the scientific method? Or what is this (noun, proper) "science" you speak of?

Science bashing? As in he's bashing the scientific method? Or what is this (noun, proper) "science" you speak of?
- aredox 3y agoThe science done by actual scientists. The ones that write: "Although the evidence shows that SARS-CoV-2 is not a purposefully manipulated virus, it is currently impossible to prove or disprove the other theories of its origin described here. However, since we observed all notable SARS-CoV-2 features, including the optimized RBD and polybasic cleavage site, in related coronaviruses in nature, we do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible. More scientific data could swing the balance of evidence to favor one hypothesis over another." that Nate Silver is now twisting into "the scientists lied, don't trust them" because they had the intellectual curiosity to imagine alternative scenarios in a Slack channel.
