When science is put to the vote

In 2009, some geologists met to decide upon the consensus for the disputed Silverpit Crater in the North Sea. Impact was a popular second choice.

So much for that. Now we know it is an impact. Not one of the impacts anyone should care about, it having little, uh, impact beyond making waves.

The real takeaway is on why they held the vote in the first place. This is some Jesus-Seminar nonsense. Something is probably right, or wrong, or "don't know yet". If you have to hold the vote then you don't know.
