All science is based on "viewpoints". What the heck do you think
drives scientific inquiry? One scientist's view is that Global Warming
is real. A different scientist looking at the same data calls
bulls**t. Openheimer felt that testing an atom bomb would set the
atmosphere on fire. Others didn't.

None of those "viewpoints" are science however, just opinions or
hypotheses. They become science, or not, after evaluation of the
underlying theory (if any), experimental proof by multiple
individuals, and peer review. Then it's not a viewpoint any longer.

You would think so wouldn't you?

Guess what - it's not.

Read this when you have the time - it's about "peer reviewed" science
and a story that deserves to be told.

And remember - it's all about "peer reviewed science" and how
viewpoints can't possibly affect the "science" once it's been peer
reviewed.
