A democratized science can help to protect against the emergence of dogma, whereby an entire community of scientists in a particular field accepts a set of assumptions or ideas as being absolute without ever questioning them further, to the extent that dissenting voices are suppressed or dismissed. However, there is an important distinction to be made between dogma and consensus, for sometimes the two can be confused. Established scientific ideas have earned the right to be widely accepted and trusted, even though they could one day be improved upon or replaced, because they have so far survived the myriad and diverse questions and tests to which they’ve been subjected.
