That’s not true these days consensus is now part of science.

Not real science, though you might think so by the groupthink passing as science today. Science makes real progress by people taking contrarian views, taking on conventional wisdom
Example 1: Ask the person who put forward the hypothesis that bacteria cause stomach ulcers. No one believed him until he infected himself and then cured himself.
Example 2: quote from Nobel prize winning physicist Max Planck:
“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”
