Science (general)
French term or phrase: besogne de salubrité
Hola, pertenece al siguiente fragmento: "Dans les temps modernes, cette méthode a été brillamment employée par M. Simon Newcomb qui démontra que les avions ne peuvent pas voler parce qu'un aéronef plus lourd que l'air est impossible et M. Imbert Nergal, qui démontra que les phénomènes parapsychologiques n'existent pas parce qu'il n'y a pas de phénomènes parapsychologiques. D'autres savants ont exercé la même BESOGNE DE SALUBRITÉ, ce qui fait qu'un Américain appelé Charles Fort a pu faire tout un volume, intitulé « Le livre des Damnés », consacré aux faits ainsi expulsés à juste titre du corps de la Science".

Muchas gracias.

Explanation:
Por lo que veo, los "sabios" se han dedicado a desmentir el hecho de que un avión pueda volar (¡Es un texto antiguo, por lo visto!).
Por lo que entiendo, sería: "La ardua/difícil labor por negar, desmentir, desbaratar, probar..." siendo "salubrité" paráfrasis. Besogne, normalmente, es "tarea sucia, pesada", pero no en este caso.
Suerte.
