Yes, I think we all say we believe scientific reports because somebody's done tests and worked it all out, but how many of us actually investigate for ourselves how they came to their conclusions? To be honest, in many cases I doubt I'd be able to make a really informed judgement about how trustworthy a given scientific report was. So I don't think the line's as defined as we might make out.
Well, scientific reports aren't brought down off a mountain etched into stone tablets, so they have that going for them.
Er...that may perhaps give them even less weight than the other.
