Yeah, right. Once caught with an egg on their face they just say "it's a prank bro!". Ecyclopedia.com take on what the so called Science Wars was: "The term science wars refers to a complex of discussions about the way the sciences are related to or incarnated in culture, history, and practice. These discussions came to be called a "war" in the mid 1990s because of a strong polarization over questions of legitimacy and authority."

Does it sound to you like some tongue-in-cheek discussions and joking around?
