Part 5/7:
The conversation underscores a vital point: the scientific method is inherently adversarial to dogma. It involves challenging, undermining, and falsifying existing theories and beliefs, rather than confirming them as ultimate truths. This perpetual state of questioning ensures that science remains a fluid, ever-evolving pursuit, not a static accumulation of facts.
It is also noted that this process cannot be replaced by crowdsourcing or collective consensus to create "stable" articles or conclusions. Just as Wikipedia’s entries are constantly edited and revised, scientific understanding must remain adaptable, always subject to revision in light of new evidence.
