One of the trademarks of science is skepticism. A good scientist is skeptical of claims that do not have good supporting evidence, regardless of the reputation of the scientist making the claim. For a non-scientist, comment on the pros and cons of being skeptical. Can being too skeptical be a problem? Can being not skeptical at all also be a problem? Does a regular person have the means to verify the validity of the evidence supporting all claims, scientific or not?

I recommend providing a real-world example to support your argument.
