Science is definately a complicated subject, and at times, a field with lots of ego at stake. Which is clear. There have even been bouts of “outsiderness” within the scientific community (molecular biology vs. ecology, or mathematics vs. physics), and degrees of dogma rising above scientific acumen are too numerous (even once is too much as within the “Clovis first” mandate). Skepticism has long served science well, nonetheless it may be time for any new paradigm — a subtle, yet highly effective shift in mindset and thinking. Could “selfless restraint” fill that duty? It has all the right elements with no excess baggage that all too often goes with skepticism. One glance at the “skeptics” forums and websites, and you’ll be able to see the level of illogics that from time to time discover their way into scientific thinking.
