Why is criticism of newer scientific technologies always frowned upon or rather considered indecent ?
In science you don’t require politeness , we only require correctness.This is especially true in medical sciences. But this is easier said than practiced in the scientific community . In any scientific conferences the only a couple of minutes or few lines are allotted for the customary negative issues and the limitations of the study.
Unscrutinised science can no longer be called as science ! it can only be termed as pseudo science!
It is believed skepticism is a powerful dampener for the scientific growth.May be it was true in the earlier era of pre industrial world. But those days science was growing only with passion for discovery and an un contaminated mind.But now too many conflicts have cropped in.
What is positive thinking ? and What is negative thinking in science ?
