conservative and skeptical are not the same thing

Science should be absolutely progressive in that ALL questions are asked and ALL hypotheses are tested, with a significant amount of skepticism and critical analysis.



Right, maybe “conservative” was not the best choice of word as it has many meanings. I was thinking about “cautious”, not “traditionalist”. Sorry for the confusion, I’m not a native speaker.
