This is what happens when people argue past each other on "Trust the science".

Science is good, but it's mediated via corruptible humans.

Also, "science" isn't some sort of dogma that you should trust, it's a process you should follow.

"Trust the science" is anathema to the process. If anything, the chant should be "Doubt the science! Give it your best shot, refute it with data, with logic, provide a better explanation!"
