Sorry, Q, I`m a late arrival to this thread
As long as you are willing to admit that the "bad science" is limited to a vanishingly small subset of all scientists, then we have no further disagreement.
While I realise there may not have been much choice in selection of employment, the use of approx 20,000 'scientists' in the Biopreparat program to develop incurable diseases might suggest that `bad' science is more widespread than you suggest. Of course, it`s more a question of morality than misuse of the scientific method, but the victims mightn`t see it that way.
