Answer:

The skeptical attitude pervades science and is applied to scientific claims as well. Scientists are skeptical of their colleagues' claims and even their own research findings. This is the point of replication and convergence in science. Results must be obtained again and again before too much is made of them.

Answer:

having a skeptical attitude in science is important because it pervades science and is applied when making scientific claims. it keeps you wondering if your colleagues claims are right or even if yours are. this is where in the scientific method we do trials to make sure we get the correct answer and we obtain results in all angles so we get every little thing before we prove our hypothesis to be wrong or right.

i hope this helps!! <3
