Scientists are not a separate species. The majority of them work for
corporate employers and do exactly what they are told. They do and say
what they must to earn a living just like everyone else. Profit
outweighs truth, always has and always will.

Of course there are some who seek the truth insofar as it is possible
to find it but that is true of many groups of people. They are still a
minority. To assume scientists are all the same is silly. Some have
open minds, some do not, as in any other group. The idea that to be a
scientist one must have an open mind is bizarre.

The pharmaceutical, tobacco, and oil industries all employ legions of
scientists. They do not have open minds and are looking for currency
units, not truths. Perhaps you think the reason a scientist searches
for the cure for cancer is to save people from the condition?

Mega lolz!

I'm writing in the context of this thread. Lumping all scientists together is what I was challenging. I see no need for your undisguised derision.
