Thats not really fair.

The point I think the Parent is trying to make is. Remember what science is and how it works and why it's useful.

It's perfectly fair. What's not fair about it?

Science is a loose methodology. But scientific institutions are fallible. Scientists are fallible. And the methodology is fallible as well, especially in the short term. The whole point is that even if mistakes are made in the small, progress is made in the large.

I don't really understand the point you (or the parent) are trying to make.

He isn't only talking about ethics.
