To paraphrase Neil deGrasse Tyson, "The good thing about science is that it works regardless of your personal opinion."
The problem you are having is that you keep confusing the person with the field with the tool.
Person=Scientist
Paleontology = Scientific field
Scientific method= TOOL
Paleontology is a scientific field which uses the same principle of scientific method the TOOL!
Yes you were expressing a mere opinion, but the fact is Paleontology is a field of scientific study and that is not up for debate.
