What if all science was attacked like evolutionary biology? What if conspiracy theories and charges of coverups were more common place?

Pym van Meur over at the Panda’s Thumb, explores this issue by examing the controversy on why ice is slippery.

I am sure that many among you remember the textbook explanation that the pressure of the ice skate melts the ice and the skate slides on the water which then freezes. But now, the dedicated reporters of the New York Times have uncovered the scandal which is growing into what some claim to be the Waterloo for the Melting Ice Theory (MIT).
