Except there should also be an understanding what constitutes a constructive “questioning the science”. There can be no debate between quantum physicists and cobbler about quantum physics. Questioning the science isn’t “I decided I know better” and isn’t “I don’t want to beleive in your results” (by itself). You question the science by checking, double-checking, finding weaknesses in the previous science. And by making new, better, more rigorous science.
People tend to forget this part even more often than the part about questioning being the integral part of science.
