Welcome to the Deep End

One of the most annoying genres of people on the internet are people who act like they believe science is one single monolithic thing. Like, you'll see an article saying something like "scientists studying the movement of tectonic plates", and then in the comments there'll be several smug people saying "smh why are scientists doing this instead of finding a cure for cancer", like. Why would a geologist be doing that.

With of course, its natural concequence being "if a scientist says it, it must be true" and sure why shouldn't you trust what an astronomer said about cancer. The disease.
