I found their point about "achieving scientific consensus" to be particularly suspect because it implies that actual research can be equated with and pitted against baseless conjecture. You're not a scientist, Housley4Prez. You don't have any basis to invalidate the existing consensus.

As a scientist, I dislike the term "consensus" within the framework of scientific research. Something that is not scientific law it is just theory and therefore subject to testing different hypotheses. That is the great thing about scientific method. Scientific consensus still needs to be tested and by all accounts improved...or changed entirely base on observations/outcomes deduced by hypothesis, testing and analysis.
