The quote at the end is perfect. Be excited when you are wrong because it's information.

Isaac Asimov used to say that the real sound of scientific progress wasn't "Eureka!", but rather, "Hmm. That's funny."

This is what conspiracy theorists don't get. The world's scientists are not skeptical of your claims that water has secret spiritual memory because they hate you, they are skeptical because the claim you make, if it were true, would be so important and world-changing that they want to be absolutely sure of it before they endorse it.

The difference is that, to a scientist, "this would be amazing if it were true" is not a good reason to believe it anyway
