_ The public and scientists did not always see eye-to-eye. For example 87 percent of scientists believed that humans and other living things evolved naturally, compared with 32 percent of the general public (WTF at the disparity on that one!). And while 84 percent of scientists say the Earth is getting warmer because of human activities, just 49 percent of the public agreed.

Shows that sometimes scientists are actually less knowledgable about the reality than the public is.

So now a random guy in a videogame forum and 49% of general public, which could easily be stupid people, know more than 84% of the scientific comunity. It could be possible but it isnt likely.

You kinda missed the point.
