Quote:In what outcome?

 

Whatever conclusion at which the scientist eventually arrives. Look, I know that you're a scientist and, as as result, you believe strongly in the purity of your profession. The truth is that your profession is filled with people, and people aren't pure in the least. We've seen that overwhelmingly with the half-truths on both sides of the AGCC debate. The same concept applies to why we have to keep government small and under tight control, because the people who populate it are fallible. Science, but the nature of needing a funding source, is politics.
