Superb link. The end is humbling,

“What gets me is the thought that even trying our best to figure out what's

true, using our most sophisticated and rigorous mathematical tools: peer review,

and the standards of practice, we still get it wrong so often; so how frequently

do we delude ourselves when we're not using the scientific method? As flawed as

our science may be, it is far away more reliable than any other way of knowing

that we have.”
