If he started turning the other cheek (which is a terrific way of annoying your enemies anyway) they would be truly exposed for the nasty, vicious little pack of bullies they are, because no one would be able to use the "Science brings it all on himself" argument.

But then, there's no way I could EVER manage to stand up to six or seven people like he does, so I'm probably not qualified to pass judgement on his methods. Love that boy.”



Your post suggests thst Derek is responsible for turning the house against Science and that without Sciences insight
no one would see how obnoxious and vile Derek really is.
I don't think this is true. I think, like the viewers, that the HMs are quite capable of working out Derek's manipulations. It''s just that Derek is easier to live with than Science and I think if Science goes its likely that Derek would be up next as most unpopular HM.
Science is responsible , like we all are, for either getting along with or not getting along with other people. He's decided to take his autonomous stand and is suffering the consequences, that's all. He's not bothered whether he gets along with them or not, otherwise he wouldn't behave the way he does.
