My points posted above show how dog piling tends towards, pack tactics, somewhat like coyotes go after deer and other larger animals. By virtue of numbers the pilers working together and aggressively agreeing among themselves that their way is the only way allowed and alternative hypothetical perspective must be debated on the piler's scientific methodologies and viewpoints about what is acceptable in the science for and what should be disallowed.
Science isn't like religion, Buz. Science has standards. I understand that just anyone can say "I'm a christian, yay!" and you can't tell them they are wrong. Sure, they may not be
your brand of christian, but they sure as shit are christian.
Science, on the other hand, has procedures. You're either using the scientific method, or you're not. You don't get to define evidence as it suits your worldview. You don't get to just
say "I'm doing science, yay!" and qualify it as science.
So no, there is no "hivemind" that you are alluding to. It just so happens that the "pack" knows the scientific method and we all use it properly. Of course we will all agree when you are wrong. maybe because.....you're wrong?
I know this won't sink in, but hey, I try.
