It was a bit tongue-in-cheek, and note the word “attempts”. This one is much too big/high profile to delete, thankfully.

The “this is just how to do science” defense is cute, but a lot people died and will die over it, and in general the conduct we have seen from formerly-trusted authorities is inexcusable. Most people are not going to let that gang of narrow-minded bullies “do science” to them ever again.

Sure it is still the same field, but far too many “experts” today are charlatans operating on inherited credibility, in all the fields.
