I mean... Science does sometimes lie. Plenty of research papers out there with fudged results or questionable methodology. Also the fact that scientists don't always agree with each other on things.

You should always question authority. Just don't question the truth once it's actually been proven.

But at what level of "proven" is it actually "proven"? That's where a disconnect lays.
