It's only from the luxury of an armchair that science exists in the way you describe Ab.

You're preaching to the choir here, you know that when it comes to a jaded pessimistic view of human nature I'm off the charts. But that's why science is so awesome - it helps us identify the true stuff even though we're shitty tribal apes one insult away from beating each other to death. It helps us identify the stuff that's true whether we believe in it or not.
"The people doing the work"? wtf? Every time a child makes a volcano out of baking soda and vinegar and confirms something he or she was told about gas they're doing the work. Every time you can't work out why your net speeds are shitty and you isolation test the network components one by one to identify the problem you're doing the work. Science is a system.
