Yes, science is about finding the truth, but we should relish the chance to challenge it. If it holds up, that only strengthens the argument for it. If it doesn’t, everyone learned something new.

Except whenever I see a non scientist challenge science, it’s never with any rigor or substance. They’ll literally be measuring angles off of an example figure posted in a news article as their argument. If you want to help push science forward, you can’t just play gotcha on social media; you actually need to be able to do the math, and show your work.
