A distinction should be made blazingly clear between imagination useful in forming a hypothesis that could explain measurable phenomena, and jumping to conclusion based on belief unfounded by experimental results with therefore no basis in reality. There is no "belief" in Science. Science should stop being treated as just another faith-based religion, or as a "scientific method" of proving the validity of ones faith.

Both errors lead to regression of knowledge of reality, and wastes our time in useless discussions such as "some scientists believe reality is a simulation" or "what we just saw moving in the sky defied the Laws of Science!" Lets stop believing our knowledge of reality is complete. Realize our scientifically acquired Laws are based on limited knowledge and we have a long way to go before we understand half of what we are perceiving and before we develop the instruments to perceive more.
