It can be dry as toast. But there is a discipline to questioning what you see, but not jumping to conclusions until you have reasonable data. Without that, we have everything from Jenny McCarthy blaming immunizations for autism like she's some frigging science researcher instead of a former Playboy model to people denying that the earth's climate is changing.
The scientific method isn't infallible, but it's one of the better tools our society has to create reproducible results.
