When the wheels of politics hit the ground, all science is out the window. Many politicians love to claim that the science overwhelmingly supports their policy prescriptions, when it most often can't be said to either support or oppose any particular policy (which is a central point of the article). If you disagree with the policy, and want your voice to count, sometime you have to hold your nose and join forces with people who are wrong in different ways. If you've ever voted for a politician with a reasonable chance of winning, you've had to make the same tradeoff.
