Ideally, there would not be a distinct 'we' who listens to what a separate-from-us 'science' says. In other words, we don't [simply] accept what science says about its subject matter--nor do we wily nily reject it. We accept it as provisional and as always open to refutation.

Always?

Yes, always.
