It does not follow, for either result or the process. For example, whether or not a scientist or you feels like a result is relevant or interesting is crucial to the scientific process.

Have you ever met a scientist in their element? They are passionate, mercurial creatures who will bitterly feud as well as sing the highest praise about their work. This seems to be integral to the process. Curiosity is a feeling, too.

I think you're idealizing science and I don't even think your ideal is a particularly useful aspiration for scientific activity.

Science is simple, if something works, you can prove it.

I am not idealizing anything, it's an indisputable fact that repeatable scientific results are repeatable by anyone.

There are real solutions to climate change, they can be implemented today, right now. And the followers in society have nothing to do with it, it's the leader responsibility to implement.
