I'd say over the last few years I've explained the scientific method and differentiated between science and scientists many, many, many times.

The people saying "trust the science" full stop; are the ones that either purposely or through ignorance, refuse to accept that there is a difference. Many are of the mind set that if one thing is wrong then the whole must be false. They simply use the phrase to ridicule science.

Changing the rhetoric won't effect these people one bit.
