Science is science because it is self-correcting. That means that when researchers go down a dead-end path they turn around and look for another route. [emphasis, links added]
However, science in highly politicized situations can face obstacles to self-correction, meaning that it can be more difficult to change course when science gets off track.
This is especially so when bad science becomes politically important.
