I trust science; I trust scientists less, and science journalism and its readers even less. Science as a human practice has never been a shining beacon of the truth. Even ignoring results that suit politics, I don't take much stock in psychology findings nowadays. And as someone interested in learning more about psychology, it's unfortunate. Science is valuable, but it should never obscure the truth. Even perfect science is not the sole arbiter of truth.
