A fun paradox of people who claim to be scientists but aren't: they acknowledge the fallibility of the models only when convenient. "We were wrong two days ago, but we were pretty sure we were right. We told people what to do based on our wrong beliefs, and they did it, because they trusted us. Yesterday we discovered we were wrong two days ago, but we had a new model that explained that. We were wrong then, too, with our new model, but we thought we were right. We told people what to do based on that new model, and they obeyed, because they still trusted us. Today, however, we have discovered that we were wrong. We have a new model, though, that explains everything. You should do what we say. You will, because you trust us."
