Well, I can't say I agree with that sentiment at all (but I suspect that discussion will devolve into disagreements about tone, and which types of media we take as representative of "scientists".)
I think my statement is understated. Read Isaac Levi's gambling with the truth for kind of the right area but any statistical decision theory book will work. This is a place for prescriptive decision theory and not scientists even though they are important.
Very lesswrongish.
