People tend to hold scientists up like some holy men who find truth.

Bullshit, they need to make a living and do so by working for someone else who hires them to find out something to strengthen their side of a case. So the loud ones are found on either end of the opposing money making ventures.

Bullshit comes in from both opposing sides cause they each have one perspective and that is to disprove the other for monetary, position or power gain.

If in doubt choose the middle road. We need a center for centered science.
