100% agreement with sentence 1. But in philosophy, not in science.
In sentence 2, what counts is what works, not "popularity."

Our witness to the truth involves, as I see it, making sure
that people understand the limitations of science, and are able
to perceive when some of the practioners of the craft overstep the bounds.
