100% wrong. Engineering != science.
As explained in
#Antifragile, our world is built by engineers, tinkerers, & practitioners, often uneducated, misclaimed by universities.
Science never claims ANYTHING about these matters. Science=research procedure not a risk control method.
If you think you don't trust scientists, you're mistaken. You trust scientists in a million different ways every time you step on a plane, or for that matter turn on your tap or open a can of beans. The fact that you're unaware of this doesn't mean it's not so.
