The 90% figure is a placeholder for healthy skepticism. Does it really matter if the correct figure is 69% or 96% when we will never, in our short lifetime, know the actual figure? Not really, no. The point is that almost everything we were taught in school about science was either completely untrue or incomplete.

If we look at what scientists have believed to be true over the span of scientific discovery, almost all of what was believed to be true was later found to be untrue or incomplete. How arrogant must we be to think that, as if by magic, that at this moment in time, we have most scientific beliefs 100% right, let alone everything right?

Let's look at the COVID-19 pandemic as a recent example. Almost everything the experts told us in the beginning was later shown to be untrue. And who knows what else we will learn with more time?

Let's look at global warming/climate change. Not a single prediction that was accepted by the majority was accurate....not one. Not a single computer model accurately predicted the temperature today. The doomsday predictions are patently absurd, yet they are widely accepted as true. Science today is so tainted by funding bias and politics that most of what is passing as science is nothing more than propaganda or drivel. Even the peer review process is largely a sham.

Let's look at dietary recommendations that have produced a hoard of unhealthy people. I can do this all day. Look at any area of science, and new discoveries are made all the time that turn what was previously believed on its head. And don't get me started on the science behind the pharmaceutical industry.

Now, of course, there are always exceptions, but exceptions don't negate the rule. At this point, it would take an incredible amount of naivete or faith to believe anything scientists say is absolutely and irrevocably true.
