Scientific Consensus does NOT mean that:
- all scientist are unanimous: disagreements may
occur and can be necessary for science to progress,
- the position is definitive: the consensus can
evolve with the results from further research and contrary
opinions.
Therefore, Scientific Consensus is NOT a synonym of "Certain Truth".
But when the scientific expertise to judge a scientific position is lacking,
the best choice is to rely on the Consensus.
