You can trivially see that&#x27;s not the case. Look at anti-vaxers vs. science. Is this two sides of the same coin? Or just two unrelated topics? Namely, science-based medicine and a fringe group of lunatics commenting on a topic they don&#x27;t understand.<p>So, there you have one trivial counter-example. Hence, your assertion is false.<p>To reiterate what I&#x27;ve stated: not every topic has more than one side. This circus-like setup is especially deceiving if you let popular opinion pick them - this apocryphal rule not only manufactures false dichotomies, but also allows for nonsense to challenge well-established science.<p>Especially when it comes to the so-called hard sciences - some topics are not under discussion - we can choose to discuss and argue all day whether the fundamental theorem of calculus is true or not, but since it&#x27;s a theorem it&#x27;s already been proven well beyond any opinion&#x27;s reach.
