According to Mathematical Opinon X = 4.
Welcome to Charles Ranting week, it is a widely believed fact!!!!!
Basically over the last few months i have been watching catalyst and the seven thirty report and many other programs going on about "scientific" opinon.
Now according to what I have been taught and dictionary.com science is supposed to be not based on opinon, but what is observed and what is test and opinon doesn't figure. If opinon does figure then it is just opinon based on something scientific and they have no proof which makes it unscientific because science is meant to be something that can be tested and proven to be undoubtable.
Einstein (paraphrasing) once said that opinon doesn't matter but that something can be tested and proven.
I think that was a incoherent marass. What I am trying to say is that people are taking this for granted and it is a misuse of a word.

I think there is such a thing as scientific opinion. For example, you can have an opinion which has science as its basis, therefore creating a scientific opinion.
If its the other way around, ie - science based on opinion, then it can't truly be called science.
And thats my 1c worth :P
I like your blog Charles, you make people think about stuff.
I think opinion is necessary in science because while you can test and prove stuff to be true often how we interpret results is based heavily on opinion. The fact that something has been scientifically proven is an opinion.
yes exactly
