I dont' think you understand what that means, because it means that he's talking to those who AGREE with him. It is clearly not the case. Since a few of us disagree, I don't see how we're the choir.

Some people simply cant accept anything till a significant group of scientists tells them its alright to do so. That way they wont be stuck out on limb, labeled as 'different' or 'free thinking', they're safe inside their secure little wombs of normalcy. Its a matter of the group mentality, in which individuals don't exist, just the collective consciousness of current acceptable scientific reasoning. Its just safer that way for many. Science will advance into the future, and many of 'todays' scientific reasonings will be scoffed at, much as earlier reasonings are today. Its a predictable cyclical course, which many refuse to acknowledge.

So wait, because some of use have looked at the evidence, don't find it fits in our own viewpoints, they are labeled as groupthink individuals? Because they disagree with the people who do believe, it's "group mentality" and not individuals who make up their own mind after seeing or examining the evidence for themselves.
