to quote from his recent thread:
遗憾的是，有一个命题至今没人能够反驳：科学是所有知识体系中最可靠的。这个命题是容易证伪的，只要有人能指出一个比科学更可靠的知识体系即可，可惜至今无人能找到。
Zhao raised the stake too high for those who wish to refute the avowed maximum certainty of science. For falsification, one can simply cite convincing instances in which certain so-called scientific certitude failed. Humility has always been a great virtue for practioners in science. The catastrophic outcome of the tsunami may have been avoided had there been warning systems in the afflicted areas. I could be wrong but my limited understanding is that scientific knowledge about tsunami is already mature and certain enough; what is really at issue is the human use of such knowledge, and policy-makers play a vital role in it.
