Most.
As to your question, what makes you think most scientists believed the world was flat before Galileo? It was pretty well figured out long before.
As for giving scientists a pass? No. They, like everyone else, have to earn it.
Lastly, I believe your quote is incorrect and, thusly, misleading due to the context you associated it with. I believe the quote should be, "Four out of five dentists surveyed recommend Crest toothpaste to their clients".
