I think it's the "can we honestly say" phrasing that got you flamed here. It reads as "those stupid scientists don't know what they're doing".

Oof. Like I said. Just fyi, for any of the HN'ers left "can we honestly say" is just a colloquialism for "is it reasonable to say, given..." Pretty sure my "given" wasn't nutso anti-science. Especially considering I am a scientist. HN was fun while it lasted. Peace out.
