Science can only play a role in solving controversies if scientific knowledge claims are accepted by those in the decision making process. Such claims should therefore be authoritative. If such claims are merely statements by a group of people calling themselves’ scientists’ they don’t differ from those of other groups: laymen, politicians, etc. Thus, the extent to which science can play a legitimate role in structuring decision making depends on the status one attributes to scientific knowledge.
