Michael Crichton Quote

Finally, I would remind you to notice where the claim of consensus is invoked. Consensus is invoked only in situations where the science is not solid enough. Nobody 2says the consensus of scientists agrees that E = mc. Nobody says the consensus is that the sun is 93 million miles away. It would never occur to anyone to speak that way.
