Fact Line

Four bar graphs depicting where different populations draw the line between "Science Facts" and "Other". For the general public, there's a sharp line between the two. It gets fuzzier for students, and even more so for grad students. Finally, scientists are the ones who have the fewest "science facts" and instead question a bunch.

This is the ideal scenario, where scientists are ready to question their assumptions if new evidence emerges. In practice, we probably don’t question as much as we could.
