Opinion is not scientific evidence or proof. A scientist who is an "expert" can still deliver only an opinion.
The scientific method does not include popularity contests. Consensus is to scientific proof what lemon is to a skin rash.
This seems so simple to me, but confusion about this matter riddles debate after debate, and the willingness to use govt force in support of "expert" and "scientific" opinion is killing people (low fat diets).
