scientific individuals != scientific organizations

The Polish Academy of Sciences isn't a scientific orginzation?

Also... don't a group of scientific indivudals = a scientific organzation anyway?

I mean, if you have 800 Scienfitsts who don't believe in global warming for example... is that really less credible then an orginzation of 30 sceintists who do believe in it?

Now this is an actual answer.  I'll look into it.  

Not if the group doesn't comport itself as a scientific organization, despite its members.  Like, say, a jogging club (just for random example).  If the "group" in the article is basically a bunch of petitioners, I wouldn't call that a scientific organization.  

As for the last one ... Are you bringing this down to popularity contest?  Organizations are usually held to a certain standard for official positions they hold, while people (even scientists) can believe whatever.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
