Hmm ...

... A field guide to bullshit - opinion - 13 June 2011 - New Scientist.

Well, most of us are skeptical of conspiracy theories and are unlikely to place much trust in the power of crystals, but it seems from this that what is being suggested is that science is the only valid form of knowledge. I somehow suspect that Law could easily segue from conspiracy to religion, for instance. Anyway, as Richard Feynman said, "what we call scientific knowledge today is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty."
