In my opinion it's just the fanboys, not the highly educated scientists. who understand what science does not know. There is a course most universities offer, the philosophy of science. In my opinion the degree to which people understand this topic is the degree to which they are true scientists. Calculus and methodology is important but it won't tell you what you cannot know. So people who didn't get this invariably over extend the reach of scientific exploration.
