that's actually remarkably close to the definition proposed by john ziman, a working physicist who wrote some books on the philosophy of science ("public knowledge" and "reliable knowledge" are the two i've read). ziman claims that "science is public knowledge", by which he means something close to "science is the consensus of opinion on those topics for which a consensus of opinion can be formed."
