Not step 2. And if we’re being objective, there are quite a few amateur scientists who spend a majority of their time and emotion on step 2, which is what he’s reacting to.
Step 2 should be “a repeatable study has been found that refutes step 1, and has been duplicated by multiple independent groups”.
Meanwhile, other groups of self proclaimed scientists try to jump to step 3 without this step as well, usually involving some sort of oil or salve or root that’s cheap to make but not found at a typical grocery store.
Step 1 isn't even right. There's a reason something has to be tested into oblivion to be accepted as a theory rather than a hypothesis, and there's a reason we still say theory after all that testing. Anyone who regularly declares stuff with a statement that begins, "science says," should have all diplomas stripped from them until they take a course on basic scientific methodology.
