 Introduction to the Scientific Method
The scientific method is the process by which scientists, collectively and over time, endeavor to construct an accurate (that is, reliable, consistent and non-arbitrary) representation of the world.
What is key in the description of the scientific method just given is the predictive power (the ability to get more out of the theory than you put in; see Barrow, 1991) of the hypothesis or theory, as tested by experiment.
In a field where there is active experimentation and open communication among members of the scientific community, the biases of individuals or groups may cancel out, because experimental tests are repeated by different scientists who may have different biases.

 The Science Behind Raw Food   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
However, the scientific community outside of the raw food community doesn't seem to see this diet in the same light as its followers.
The majority of the scientific articles stating that raw foods are dangerous are referring to animal-borne diseases, such as e-coli and salmonella.
This makes me think that, since the larger scientific community has not yet got wind of this trend, it can't possibly be as big of a deal as its advocates claim.

 Scientific community metaphor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scientific Community Metaphor builds on the philosophy, history and sociology of science with its analysis that scientific research depends critically on monotonicity, concurrency, commutativity, and pluralism to propose, modify, support, and oppose scientific methods, practices, and theories.
The first publications on the Scientific Community Metaphor (Bill Kornfeld and Carl Hewitt 1981, Kornfeld 1981, Kornfeld 1982) involved the development of a programming language named Ether that invoked procedural plans to process goals and assertions concurrently by dynamically creating new rules during program execution.
Scientific communities are structured to support competition as well as cooperation.

 Forensic Evidence.com: Identification Evidence/Court Holds Earprint Identification Not Generally Accepted in Scientific ...
He did not know of any published scientific studies confirming his theory that individuals can be identified using earprints, and he did not claim that his system was generally accepted in the scientific community.
General acceptance may not be found “[i]f there is a significant dispute between qualified experts as to the validity of scientific evidence.” When general acceptance is reasonably disputed, it must be shown, by a preponderance of the evidence, at a hearing held under ER 104(a).
In this case, twelve long-time members of the forensic science community stated or implied that latent earprint identification is not generally accepted in the forensic science community.
