Yeah, that's what I meant too. I should have said "When most people talk about NOT believing in science, what they really mean is that they don't have any faith in technology." My point was that not having faith in technology is open to one's personal opinions, but anybody who doesn't believe that the scientific method works is either ... uh ... mentally unbalanced or whatever the other option was that you mentioned in another post.
