Expressing bad attitudes to science without realising it

in order to do their jobs.

Big deal! Is a minister not a valid job?

Is buying and selling a valid job? It involves assessment, and honesty and valuation and, to a greater or esser extent understanding people.

Hmmm.

Lets restore some of the omitted context:

@jammycakes

… science is done in laboratories and out in the field, that it starts off with studying evidence, or that most people encounter it first and foremost through having to put its principles and its findings into practice in order to do their jobs.

Big deal! Is a minister not a valid job?

Is buying and selling a valid job?

They are valid jobs. They are not jobs which require anyone to put the principles and findings of science into practice. So they aren’t relevant to @jammycakes’s comment, and including more of his text would have made that clear..

Quote-mining is dishonest.
