Given that many of my disagreements with the local atheists hinge on their 
cultish and non-skeptical acceptance of scientific results and me, therefore, 
accusing them of "scientism", I found this article helpful.  In this forum, we 
talk a lot about how science journalism reports results (hyped or not even 
wrong).  But even *if* a "Science News fanboi" does a good job parsing the 
difference between the journalism and the actual content of a journal article, 
there are still plenty of caveats to any lab, research project, or entire 
domain that can color its produce.  So, I tend toward cynicism when reading any 
science whatsoever.

That said, I think I *am* guilty of something like this _Weak Scientism_, for 
better or worse.
