>>12229255I agree with this phrase.
In the context of my laboratory, people often make big claims with 0 evidence and need to be reminded regularly that their beliefs are baseless and therefore not grounded in reality.
It's a real problem in science and society as a whole when people jump to conclusions without evidence, especially if those false assumptions are damaging to other people.
A major part of science is that claims need to have evidence and experiments reproducible. You can't just go around saying things without any way to back it up, which people often do.
