Scientists say the Trump administration is rushing scientific analysis that will help decide how much water can be pumped out of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.

My first question is, "what's so bad about rushing the science?"

Isn't more science, faster, a good thing?

So that hurry-up-and-decide pressure may force scientists to take shortcuts and complete their analysis by the appointed hour.
