scientific knowledge is affected by the beliefs of everyone concerned
From the sociological point of view, opposition to fluoridation is not necessarily irrational. Rather, claims to rationality and to scientific authority are better seen as part of a strategy to promote fluoridation than as incontrovertible statements of fact. Second, social values are likely to be bound up in any decision about fluoridation, so this is not an issue on which declarations by scientific experts ought to be considered the final word.
На научные знания влияют убеждения всех заинтересованных лиц.
С социологической точки зрения, оппозиция фторированию не обязательно иррациональна. Скорее, претензии на рациональность и научный авторитет лучше рассматривать как часть стратегии по продвижению фторирования, а не как неопровержимые утверждения о фактах. Во-вторых, в любом решении о фторировании, скорее всего, будут присутствовать социальные ценности, так что это не тот вопрос, по которому заявления научных экспертов должны считаться последним словом.
