How much truth can we get to?

Human beings are flawed. They make mistakes all the time. But I feel the most dangerous mistake we often make regards our judgement, not our actual knowledge about objective facts. In other words, I wouldn't have any problem with the world if decisions were mostly made by using the best methods available to mankind at a given point in time. What really bothers me is human capacity of condemning perfectly good methods of reaching objective knowledge just because conclusions they lead to go against human intuition itself. 

The universe is huge. We won't probably be able to get to know a significant share of it. Ever. But this doesn't have anything to do with how valid our methods to build knowledge are for explaining what they've aimed to explain. For example: it's illogical to think medicine effectiveness on fighting Polio has any direct correlation with its current ability to cure cancer. These two measures are completely independent, even if the method for getting to both has been exactly the same. It's possible and it happens all the time. You can establish two completely different effectiveness levels for currently curing two different diseases and at the same time be completely unable to deny the validity of the scientific method that has produced the two different treatment protocols.

Science is not perfect. It has its limitations and it is always evolving. But making intuitive claims about its method and call it critic view is just counterproductive. The main reason why science has allowed us to amplify our collective knowledge about the world so ridiculously in a very short period was the possibility to detach its conclusions from individual sensory experience. Which means that if a study was properly conducted (this is where critic view may actually  apply) and it got to a result that goes against your own experience and intuition, probably your experience and intuition are wrong. 

This is wonderful. Because it means that this piece of knowledge generated there doesn't depend on anyone's ability, personal opinions or perceptions to be valid. It's also the main reason why science is so powerful and so great. My take here is simple: discussing can be a healthy and productive exercise. As long as we focus on the right questions. Otherwise it's just like going back to dark ages again (even if you don't leave your cutting edge smartphone alone the entire time).
