I think the difference is between people who see science as a process and people who see science as a priesthood.

A true pro-science position is to follow the conclusions from scientific observations wherever they may lead however uncomfortable that may be. Someone who is not pro-science but merely adopting the aesthetic of science will claim "obey the science" as though it's a doctrine rather than simply a tool.

I find that these people don't read studies but rather treat scientists as Science.

Scientists are Authority, not science.

It was mind boggling how many scientists made this mistake.
