Depends on the specifics.

Scientists are not a collective, even though they rally around a shared set of declared principles.

No @Undead Mockingbird I get what you mean. But you still have to deal with the "man covered in shit" argument.

@Undead Mockingbird wrt the peterson example specifically, what do you do if the rest of the people you're depending on for solidarity are the opposition?

Sure

@Undead Mockingbird There are things I agree with you on and things I don't. I will cheer for the stuff I agree with and call you out for the stuff I don't. That's called being honest.

You may choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Nice.

Justice prevails eventually.
