The true skeptic admits they do not have all the answers. If they have not directly experienced something for themselves they make no absolute claim about it. The true skeptic has an open mind and is open to all possibilities.
The false skeptic thinks they already know the answers, even in areas where they have little or no direct knowledge. They use a distorted view of science to back them up, even though science is in a continual state of revision and can only answer questions in a limited field. These people are not true skeptics, they are naysayer's. They have little interest in discovering truth but instead wish to stir up trouble among others.
