Previously, I had quoted Ben Stein as saying:

|I was thinking to myself the last time any of my relatives saw scientists
|telling them what to do they were telling them to go to the showers
|to get gassed . that was horrifying beyond words, and that's where
|science - in my opinion, this is just an opinion - that's where
|science leads you.

Louis Schmier seems to think that this a true or accurate
statement. If I paraphrased Stein to say "the study of history leads
to murder" and "historians are murderers", would these statements
be:
a) as accurate as Stein's original statement about science and scientists
(i.e., true and very accurate)
b) less accurate than Stein's original statement
c) more accurate than Stein's original statement
d) both statements are ridiculous because it reduces a diverse group
of people to a single terrible oversimplification or stereotype
