In a similar vein, people using scientific facts in non-scientific conversations. The amount of times I've heard "well the SCIENCE tells us..." in a moral debate is mind boggling.
Overall, I very much dislike hearing the phrases:
- "Science says..."
- "Scientists say..."
- "THEY say..."
Considering the amount of information available to cherry pick from, or people to ask a question to, every one of those is no better than just saying: "this one random person on the internet said...".
