    There are no right or wrong opinions, unless you have invalidated yours for having ignored facts that conflict with them.

        @neiltyson so you're effectively saying there are "right opinions" and "uninformed opinions"? :-D

        @jcdickinson @neiltyson no, you can have an educated opinion (based on facts) and an uninformed opinion (based on lack of facts)

        @Jazzistential @neiltyson exactly. valid opinions are not equivalent to what is empirically measurable in 2015. we gotta be very cautious.

        @neiltyson True. But science and scientists are not immune to this psychological dissonance. This is especially true regarding psi research
