Karl Popper held a rather different opinion. "Science must begin with myths, and with the criticism of myths; neither with the collection of observations, nor with the invention of experiments, but with the critical discussion of myths, and of magical techniques and practices." — Karl Popper

Wow Carney is being disingenuous and spouting false equivalencies. Scorched earth on Rosemary Barton, "you start from a prior of ill will". I hope Canadians see this. He's no more hostile to questioning than Trudeau, just worse at disguising his contempt.
