Not these days...

[OT] Is any one else irritated by the phrase (or similar) 'Scientists
say...' as though scientists were something strange and alien? This
seems to be happening more and more.


It could be because scientists are seen as untrustworthy again ... that happens
from time to time ... the sixties ... mad cows ... etc. etc.

This does not mean that I hold that opinion, merely that it may be a reason.
