Dropping in mid thread, but I think you parsed that differently than intended; I read it as saying that the notion of unquestionable dogma runs counter to the core ideas of science, not that the dogma itself must run counter to anything in order to be a cult.

Ah. Yeah, I may have parsed that one incorrectly, now that you mention it. Thanks for pointing that out.
