Der Inhalt von Masticationpedia enthält daher Einschätzungen und Bewertungen und anscheinend auch Kommentare und Meinungen, und das ist (hier) völlig normal, dass dies so ist. Wir berichten nicht über das allgemeine Ergebnis unserer Disziplin, wir interagieren damit. Dafür natürlich.

All collaborative projects live on the liveliness of the communities that develop in them. Masticationpedia is no exception: here too there is a (still small) community of contributors discussing the project choices. However, since the scientific method is the only beacon that must guide us, in Masticationpedia the Community does not have the sovereign powers it can have elsewhere, and if one day the Community decided for instance to make the Project state that the Earth is flat, that consensus would be incinerated by the scientific method, by which that hypothesis proves wrong.
