I guess some physicists already have a tendency to see themselves at the pinicle of science. When winning the prize I guess it really gets to their heads. So weird that they’d get so damn certain about the “truth” in a completely different field from what they’ve studied. As far as I can tell, without engaging much with scientists actually working in that field.

It would be useful if people did not treat "Science" and "Noted Scientist" like "Roman Catholic Church" and "Cardinal or Pope". Lawyers are smart and honest enough to preface everything they say about the law, outside of their own little niche specialties, with huge disclaimers. Is there some reason why scientists are so dim or crooked that they won't even aspire to lawyers-level professionalism?

Skepticism is fine, but he does not seem to be presenting any evidence or insight -- in other words, he seems to be part of a disinformation campaign.
