Now to really **** you off

The problem is for every scientist view you find there is one that
disagrees. Scientist can't agree on anything.

whether you realize, or not, Sarge, you have hit on it. The nature of the
Sciences is debate, study, more debate....eventually, things are learned, more
questions asked, and knowledge goes forward. Eliminating the input from those
scientists is an encouragement of ignorance. Hence, the problem of the
C-student President. Ignorance is elevated to an exalted level. Why read the
newspaper when your friends will tell you all you need to know?? As the song
goes

Actually, the fool missed it by a mile. In fact, scientists within any one
discipline typically agree on virtually everything but niggling details. It
is only when a particular discipline undergoes what Kuhn so felicitously
termed a "paradigm shift" that widespread disagreement on fundamental issues
occurs and these are generally resolved in what, in retrospect, is a very
short time......however long it may seem at the time. It has been
demonstrated time and again that near universal agreement on the core issues
in any field is one of the greatest impediments to scientific progress.

Yeah, all of that part is right.
