Hmm. So if someday I find that some scientists make conclusions that don't follow and these conclusions are used to make harmful policy decisions, I must not point out that certain scientific problems are unsolved or gather other scientists to write petitions, because that would make me match the RW pattern of "denialist". Also apparently I must not say that correlation isn't causation, because that's "minimizing the relevance of statistical data".
