Ian, I am not sure of the percentage you give to scientist for allowing in the subjective; it is common in particle physics these days. But I would agree with the intent of the statement. Most scientist that I have met over the years think they are doing more than they are. But why not? I think that way often, provides more purpose and drive. It is those that follow along thinking they are being led to truth that need a knock on the head. Yes, I am advocating knocking on the head, shocking!
