I find this actually an interesting example of how "scientists" is sort of miss-used in popular discussion. I think this should be titled "A group of scientists say dolphins are people". Often the term scientists is used as a shorthand for exactly this "a subset of scientists". This causes the problem that it makes things that aren't necessarily scientific facts appear to be scientific facts. It almost implies there is some sort of governing body of scientists that have decreed this.
