| Jan 15, 2017 at 21:54 | comment | added | Standback | I feel the original question was meandering, and a lot of the community had trouble following it and understanding what was being asked. I've edited, almost entirely focusing on what I saw as your key lines. Please let me know (or re-edit, or roll back my edit entirely) if I've misinterpreted what you're asking. | |

| Jan 1, 2017 at 23:39 | comment | added | Richard Stanzak | I guess so, but a profession is normally in caps, it's why I say I was a Molecular Biologist using caps I'm not here to argue or quarrel, just to learn and maybe even understand what I am being taught | |
| Jan 1, 2017 at 20:05 | comment | added | Lambie | Normally, we don't write science with a capital s but I guess you missed my first point altogether. | |
| Jan 1, 2017 at 19:30 | comment | added | Richard Stanzak | Do not confuse Science with scientists. Scientists fight every bit as bitterly over their view as writers. But, once consensus occurs by massive amounts of research and data, the profession of Science coalesces around these views. But, there always remains the dedicated few who never concede and they continue to assail the mainstream thought, occasionally they are correct. Science progresses because rebel scientist don't settle for dogma. Science may tolerate Groupthink but individual scientists tend to view it with a jaundiced eye. | |
| Jan 1, 2017 at 17:24 | comment | added | Lambie | Screenwriters don't need to write /said/ because they are writing dialogue. Novel writers are not. They are different literary forms. Try reading some Elmore Leonard, he was a past master at handling them and sparingly so. | |
| Jan 1, 2017 at 17:12 | comment | added | Lambie | Here is my problem: right in your first three sentences you contradict yourself: Scientist abhor Groupthink, it is in our nature as rebels. It is how science progresses. | |
