This pristine image of science is based on the theory that the scientific community is guided by norms including disinterestedness and organized skepticism, which are incompatible with misconduct [8], [9]. Increasing evidence, however, suggests that known frauds are just the “tip of the iceberg”, and that many cases are never discovered. This just about reinforces my attitude on science of today. I love the vast knowledge and technical advances science has brought us, but heaven forbid one question the results of an experiment or take a skeptical attitude towards particular theories, and one is typically beaten over the head with the Great Stick of Cult Science. There really is no room for skepticism anymore in the science of today. Either you agree with "us" or you don't, and if you don't then you're shunned from the community. Studies like this further prove to me that my continuing healthy dose of skepticism in all matters of science is fully justified.
