That’s where the WSJ comes out in an essay by Matt Ridley — author of “How Innovation Flourishes”.
Mr. Ridley makes a couple of transcending points:
> Organized science is indeed able to distill sufficient expertise out of debate in such a way as to solve practical problems. But, science is a flawed and all too human affair.
