H. Sapiens acting scientifically is vital to the survival and evolution the species. Not all of the 7 billion humans on the planet act this way. Examples of this include, but are clearly not limited to, adherents to conspiracy theories, dogmatic religious believers, and parents who prevent their child from being vaccinated. The public must engage in critical and rational thinking, otherwise, science and H. Sapiens will become extinct.
Peer reviewed and published is more than a stamp of approval by the scientific community. It also means that a scientific paper was written, and when possible, data are available for further study. A paper containing (a) an introduction and literature review, (b) a meticulous exposition of the methodology used, (c) an objective and logical presentation of results, and (d) an unbiased discussion of implications for the field, is paramount for the advancement of the field.
