There is also no reason to get piqued over his use of the term "science lobby". It is a generic label for advocates of mainstream science.
Is that so? Not familiar to me, so I took the trouble of looking through the first 100 Google hits. Not much except in relation to funding; which is what I expected - the classic work of [[F. M. Cornford]], nearly a century ago, pointed out that scientists do lobby, for money.
So, it may be 'generic', but not that common. WP has no article about [[science lobby]]. More to the point, Disinfopedia has none, though I found some stuff about pro-GM lobbying.
So, seems to me this is jargon.
