The point of science is to solve problems, not to find the "objective truth". This is done by gathering data and describing patterns observed in nature. When you're in the lab, you're not thinking about finding an objective truth. You're thinking about how to solve a problem.

"Science requires evidence for all claims, except for the claim that science is the arbiter of objective truth." This is not an empirical statement, it's a philosophical one. Which is ironic considering how much NDT loves to shit on the humanities.
