I know this one -- when it isn't science, merely a consensus. Thanks Ernest. :')

Whoops! Yeah, but you were first. Well, second, because neverdem also pinged me elsewhere but with a link back here. :’) My virtual social life is far too complicated. ;’) Thanks FGS for the ping.

Perhaps Al Bore should read this article. Nay. To much money already invested.

“Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.” — Michael Crichton
