Meredith asks:The real worry is that if this place is allowed to pass itself
off as a science museum, where does that leave other science-based museums?

Response: It leaves other science museums right where they are. If what they
are presenting is accurate, then what do mainstream science museums have to
worry about? They will be given their due consideration, and respect, for
the things that they present in clear and minimally biased ways.

As for the last sentence: Museums do put their own spin on objects,
especially in terms of history. Curators canot help but put their own biases
into the exhibits they create. The maker is part of the thing made.
