Your links to crap do nothing to prove or disprove my opinion. As occurs with any group of people in any field whose belief systems approach rabidness and whose agenda becomes the agenda: dissenting credible alternatives, ideas, studies, theories, and statements which deviate from the group mentality are unwelcome, ignored, and silenced, and more often than not, the messengers of same are subjected to contempt and pillory, perfect examples of same exist on these threads.

I posted links showing an example of a discovery that 'deviated from the group mentality'. This discovery has been welcomed, considered, publicized, and its discoverers have been credited and commended on their work.

I do understand, however, that your opinion is under no obligation to be right, so naturally you are likewise under no obligation to modify it in the face of refuting evidence. Speaking for myself, that does mean that I have no incentive to accept what I perceive to be an opinion detached from reality as credible. I doubt that really bothers you though.

Still, I am a bit curious to know if you have any examples of contemporary dissent backed with empirical evidence that does fit your perception of not being treated fairly. If so, I'd like to hear them.
