Good question
There is soft science and hard science , soft science topics (economics, politics etc) should be left free because they fall into the realm of philosophy, can generate a good amount of debate and there is no valid way to prove that they are wrong . Hard science topics are of two kinds : those that are open to interpretation (archaeology, quantum mechanics, climatology) and those who are not (mathematics, physics, biology, robotics) i believe moderation should be very lax on the first group and heavy on the second .
Science is our attempt to understand and we should keep an open mind but still filter out bullshit that have already proven wrong .
