Maki at  Sci-ənce! bringeth the wisdom about the logical fallacy used by anti-science hippies to rationalize why, if we can't prove something unproven doesn't work, maybe it works, like curing shingles with acupuncture. Sure, scientists who mostly care about politics also engage in logical funkiness, like how Evil Republicans hate science so much they boosted funding but it doesn't count because they didn't boost it enough so they still hate science, but they can make that webcomic another time.  That the anti-science hippies and the kookier political activist scientists vote the same way is probably a coincidence anyway.

You may want to click to see it better and to generally give them some Google link love so they keep doing good stuff:
