I provided you with I believe 6 examples. If you want to know, why don't you find out?

The parallels you are drawing (CT bus driver, cern scientists talking amongst themselves) pretty well proves to me you are either intentionally being obtuse or simply do not understand what you're talking about.

These are false equivalences, they aren't even tenuously related.

I can provide you many links of scientists doctoring data. Environmentalists that use junk science. Statisticians that can make the data say anything. Scientists that are influenced by funding (whether from the Sierra club, or Exxon Mobil). The list goes on.
Which is why scientists need to share and explain their research with the rest of the scientific community as well as the public, so we can all have informed discourse.
