"Trust the science."

"The new science says 5 days instead of 10."

Etc etc. Science doesn't mean 'knowledge dispensed by an authority.' Science is a practice of responsible study.

People should say "Trust the research" or "the new consensus". Instead 'science' is used as this weird word where scientists are mystical alchemists that pull truth from the Ether.

For the average person this might as well be true.
