Here is a provocative thought. In my opinion, scientists nowadays command the trust and confidence of the general public largely thanks to the "dark arts."

Yeah, but was this relevant? Shouldn't this go in an open thread or its own post?

Yes, you're right, it is probably too off topic. I replied to the above comment without too much thinking about the context. I'll delete it and cache the thought for a more appropriate moment.

That seems a bit extreme. Why not put it on the open thread now, even if you plan on elaborating later?

Don't worry, I can quickly reproduce the same argument whenever a more opportune context comes up.
